# Remittance Advice

**Remittance advice** is a letter sent by a customer to a supplier, to inform the supplier that their invoice has been paid. If the customer is paying by cheque, the **remittance advice** often accompanies the cheque.

**Remittance Advice** is applicable to companies with allocations switched on, and allows you to generate a report showing that a payment has been made to a supplier, and which specific transactions (O/Bals, Purchases, Journals) it is paying.

To print/email a **remittance advice** note, please follow the below steps.

1. Highlight any ledger payment.
2. Select Remittance Advice on the bottom of the screen.
