GOVT. 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. Once the projects have a specific payment office assigned to them, any changes you make in this screen automatically take effect for all projects that use that payment office.
