Vendor Setup - General Ledger overview
Use this page to specify GL account codes for the vendor.
If you specify account codes, they are referenced first during any transaction entry functions that update the vendor records and interface to General Ledger. The AP Control, Bank, Discount, and Expense/Asset accounts can be specified per vendor, or several vendors can have the same account codes.
Additional accounts are available for partner reimbursement and warranty claim processes if a Service Management integration is implemented.
Specify account codes to produce General Ledger reports on a vendor-level basis. If you do not specify account codes, account codes from the SA Operator Setup record are used.
Each field contains a lookup. If you click the lookup button for each field, a list of account codes by lookup name is displayed. Double-click the account code to select it. If you specify account codes here, they must meet the specifications set up in SA Administrator Options-Financials-Account Structure. If an embedded segment is not used, specify a zero in the field. If a leading segment is not used, it is automatically filled with a zero. For example, you must type zero for 123-0-123-123, but not 0-0-123-123.
Supplier Warranty Allowance program
Although account codes for vendors are optional, we recommend that you specify the account codes for the Supplier Warranty Allowances program. If you use the program and do not specify the accounts for each vendor participating in the program, postings are made to the Suspense account and must later be corrected.
If your company is not fully divisionalized, you can specify the * wild card for the division. If the company is fully divisionalized, specify the 0 wild card as per all account setups.
