Payment Company name blank on placement, Pay and Bill uses the one from the applicant

This article explains why when the Payment Company field is blank on a placement, the placement will still be exported to Pay and Bill, with the applicant Payment Company instead which can then not be changed.

There isn't a rule to force you to fill in the Payment Company on the Placement.
What the system will do is if there is an Payment Company on the placement then it will use that, if one is not filled in then it will use the one set on the applicant.
You would get an error is say the applicant had PAYE details and the placement is set as Ltd/Umbrella.

Then as the placement has exported with that data it won't let you change it
