NetSuite Professionals

We have multiple vendors that are paid through a purchasing group. We order through the vendors individually, but pay the purchasing group entity. NetSuite doesn't support parent:child relationships with vendors and we're utilizing Electronic Bank Payments to generate an ACH file. I intend on adding a custom field to the vendor to indicate inclusion in the group.

If we attach the group's bank details to each vendor, will EBP aggregate the payments into 1 lump sum? Is EBP driven by a saved search for a batch for example?

Any other solutions folks have had?

Can you make 1 vendor record but use different billing/shipping addresses or a custom field to manage the different vendors?

Then source those custom fields into the PDF so it displays on a vendor level correctly but in NetSuite it’s all against one vendor

After a further look, it didn't make sense to aggregate it outside of a saved search, then a manual ACH for the single payment. The AP needed to be displayed by entity, so I ended up adding a custom field which we could utilize to aggregate any data in reports and searches. Appreciated the response!  I admittedly hadn't started Slack in a minute.
