In organizations that use centralized payment processing, each operating legal entity manages its own invoices payable information and payments to vendors are generated from a single legal entity, which is referred to as the legal entity of the payment. Use this procedure to select invoices to pay. For more information, see Key tasks: Vendor payments and settlements.
