Manage vendors

A vendor is any entity or person to which your company makes payments, including your employees. A vendor must be defined before invoices are processed.

Maintaining records for vendors is an important part of managing the accounts payable function. You can define and store vital information about your vendors such as their legal names, remit to addresses, and payment terms.

Vendor profiles are managed by payables managers and payables specialists. The IEFINViewSensitiveData security class must be added to roles that are required to view sensitive vendor data.
