The Payee option holds the payroll item company's information - such as name, number (formerly known as vendor number in Classic), address, phone number, and fax number.  Once the Payee is created, it can be assigned to a Payroll Item Configuration using the Payee field.  Keep in mind, a Payee will need to be created before it can be added to a Payroll Item Configuration.  Assigning a Payee to a Payroll Item Configuration will result a single payment. Assigning the same Payee to multiple Payroll Item Configurations will result in like Payees being combined into one payment.  ‘Numbers’ are not used in USPS or tied to USAS. For more information regarding how USAS uses Payee information from the USPS, please click here.
