SA Administrator Cross Company Vendor Copy Report overview

System Administrator > Administration > SAA Reports > SAACV

Function acronym: SAACV

Use this report to copy vendor information from the source company to one or more destination companies. A multi-company environment often requires similar system data for each company.

Run the SA Administrator Cross Company Vendor Copy Report after the SA Administrator Cross Company System Copy Report.

Before you copy the vendor information, ensure that these records are set up in the destination company:

  • SA Company Setup
  • GL Account Setup
  • CR Bank Setup
  • SA Table Code Value Setup

The system validates several records when the SA Cross Company Vendor Copy Report is run. This table shows the records that must be set up before you run the report. If any of the records do not exist, an exception occurs and the vendor record is not created in the destination company.

SA Table Code Value Setup Addon Type

CR Bank Setup Bank #

If these conditions exist in the destination company, an exception occurs and the Vendor record is not copied:

  • Vendor record already exists
  • These records or values do not exist:
    • Ship via
    • Terms type
    • Bank number
    • Division
    • GL accounts
    • Addon
    • To vendor
    • Currency type

You can use this report to duplicate the Vendor Ship From Setup records. Ship from records are copied if the vendor record is successfully copied in the same session. If errors occur when the vendor is copied, the errors must be corrected and the copied record must be deleted so that the vendor and ship from records can be created at the same time.

Notes attached to the Vendor records in the source company are not copied to the destination company. Vendor Maintain Balance Entry records are created, but the history fields are blank to build unique records for the new vendor record.

If the GL accounts of the source company are partially-divisionalized, or if either company is fully-divisionalized, the Vendor records are copied.
