The "Send Remit Advice" option is used for transmitting payment (Payables) data to your vendor. This notifies the vendor of a pending, or expected, payment. Generally, this is done when processing checks (disbursements) rather than from the Vendor EDI transaction. If a disbursement is processed without transmitting the payment data to the vendor, you can send the data later using this option.

Remittance notification can be sent immediately when processing Payables from the Disbursements transaction. There is a check box on the Process (F12) form to transmit the remittance advice document to the vendor(s) when applicable.
