Creating vendor locations from supplier contacts

Follow these steps to create an Accounts Payable vendor location from an existing supplier contact. For more information on vendor locations, see the Accounts Payable User Guide.

Note: 

Depending on your security setup, you may not have access to this feature. Work with your administrators to understand who is allowed to create vendor locations in your organization.

Note: 

If the vendor location already exists in Accounts Payable, you can associate the supplier contact with the existing vendor location record by selecting the vendor location in the Vendor Location field on the Contact Information tab for the contact.

Before you can create a vendor location, the vendor must be assigned to the supplier with which the contact is associated.

To create a vendor location from a supplier contact

  1. Access Supplier Setup.
  2. Select the supplier for which you want to create a vendor location.
  3. Access the Contacts tab and from the Actions menu, select Create Vendor Location.
