Creating vendor class security groups

Vendor class security groups are associated with a payables vendor class group. Vendor class group defines the vendor classes that are members. Vendor classes that are members of a vendor class group are the vendor classes to which actors have access when a security group is created and associated to the vendor class group.

For information about managing vendor class groups, see the Financials Setup and Administrator Guide.
