Vendors
Use this form to maintain a record for each vendor with whom your company does business. After you enter a vendor record, the system maintains and automatically updates the Purchases YTD, Purchases Last Year, Discounts YTD, and Discounts Last Year fields. Accounts payable, inventory control, and purchasing reference the Vendors file.
If a vendor is on payment hold, a problem indicator is displayed at the top of the form. If the vendor is not on payment hold, a check mark is displayed.
Multi-site notes:
- If you have a master site for an intranet, you can use the Multi-Site Vendors form to add and update vendor information for sites on that intranet.
- To delete a vendor from a site in a multi-site environment, use this form. This deletes the vendor's record in the site's "vendor" table. However, there is also an associated "vendaddr" table record, containing information such as the vendor's name and address. Because the vendaddr table is shared between sites, the vendaddr record for this vendor is deleted only when the vendor number is no longer in use at any site.
- If a vendor exists in one site in a multi-site environment, the same vendor number cannot be used with a different vendor name in other sites.
- The availability of a vendor record is specific to a site. If the same vendor record is used in more than one site, each site will maintain the availability of that record.
