Vendor Group (AP00.1)

Use Vendor Group (AP00.1) to define and maintain vendor groups. A vendor group identifies a set of vendors shared by one or more accounts payable companies. Vendors are added to a vendor group in AP10.1 (Vendor). A vendor group allows more than one company to make payments to and purchases from the same vendors.

Companies that share the same vendor group can view vendor balances by company or by vendor group. The options you define on this form apply to all vendors and companies assigned to this vendor group.

Processing Effect

When you define a vendor group, the application automatically creates a one-time vendor class of ONE. The application assigns this vendor class to one-time vendors defined during invoice entry in AP20 (Invoice Entry).
