Creating an Invoice for a DBA - Is the legal entity name required on the invoice also?

[jamrobin]

When you are invoicing from a DBA (Line 2 of the W-9), are you also required to include the legal entity name (Line 1 of the W-9) on the invoice?  Also, are thier legal requirements for the remit to name?  Does the company receiving the invoice blindly pay whatever remit to is listed on the invoice or is there requirements for the entities to match the supplier entity?

It's based on how your Business account is setup - what ever name you used for your business during the account setup process is what goes on the invoice.

The second part of your question,whether the company blindly pay what is invoiced or does it match the entity is a business question,accounts payable dept usually have procedures on how to pay vendor invoice,usually the purchasing dept make the purchase,it may have a purchase order number it uses,for one time,for $$ limit or for a period like one year,A/P gets  a copy,receiving dept gets a copy,when shipment arrived,receiving dept make a note and compare with the purchasing order ,A/P dept will pay when shipment is received in good order.

Company keeps a list of approved vendors they do business with on their A/P vendor file/
