MANAGE GOVERNMENT PAYMENT OFFICES

Use this screen to set up all the government payment office addresses your company uses. First, enter the address information here. Then, when you set up the project billing information, you can select the desired payment office. After the projects have a specific payment office assigned to them, any modifications you make in this screen automatically take effect for all projects that use that payment office.

Set up this screen before entering project information or calculating billings. If you need to modify the information in this screen, you must do it before calculating billings. Otherwise, you must recalculate the billing for the address change to take effect.
