Mass Vendor Update (AP110)
Run Mass Vendor Update (AP110) to update codes assigned to all or a range of vendors within a vendor group. The form lets you update vendor priority, prenotification status, and any of the codes listed on this form with a new code without having to change each vendor record individually in AP10.1 (Vendor). If you select Yes in the Update Locations field, the form updates vendors and associated alternate vendor locations, if applicable.
More Information
Use the Invoice tab to define information used to update invoice processing codes. Use the Payment tab to define information used to update payment processing codes. Use the Distribution tab to define information used to update default invoice distribution codes and activities. Use the Match tab to define information used to update matching options.
For each code, you can
- update vendors assigned a specific code with a new code by completing the Before and After fields,
- update vendors with a new code regardless of the old code assigned by leaving the Before field blank and completing the After field, or
- clear a code field for vendors assigned a specific code by completing the Before field and leaving the After field blank.
If you clear a code field and the vendor class has a default code assigned, the code assigned to the vendor class defaults on the updated vendor record.
For example, you change your standard payment terms from 30 days to 45 days. You define a new terms code, called "P45" in the Terms application. Most of the vendors in your vendor group have the old "P30" terms code assigned. The vendor update form lets you assign the new "P45" terms code to all vendors and locations that have the old "P30" terms code assigned.
