Vendor Category

You can use vendor categories to group vendors by A/P, Purchases, and Drafts Payable account numbers. This grouping saves time when you add vouchers, adjustments or non-inventory PO line items. Grouping vendors by category allows you to assign similar default values for each group's Accounts Payable and Purchase Account numbers.

On the Vendors or Multi-Site forms, select the appropriate category for this vendor, if necessary. If you assign a vendor category to a vendor, the Purchase Account number will default from the Vendor Categories form. You can change the Purchase Account default account number at any time (it is not required).

Vendor categories are not required. If you do not select a category for the vendor, the system uses the default account numbers from the associated parameter form.

On the Purchase Orders form, the assigned category (if any) displays.
