Transfer/Change Vendor Codes (APU910)

Use the Transfer/Change Vendor Codes program to change certain vendor information.

You have the option to change the following fields:

1. Vendor class 
   
2. Terms code 
   
3. GL posting table 
   
4. Document group
   
5. Ledgercard flag
   
6. Past PO flag
   
7. Default cost class
   
8. Cost hierarchy
   
9. Use lowest cost flag
   

To change a field you can:

• Select the order to change - vendor, alpha, or vendor class.
  
• Select the beginning and ending order choice to change.
  
• Select the change FROM field.
  
• Select the change TO field.
  

The fields above are all part of the information stored on each vendor in the vendor file. This program is especially useful to make changes to many vendors without having to manually change each vendor individually through the Vendor F/M program.

An example of the use of this program is if the user started to give a 2% terms discounts replacing the 1% discounts. All fields being changed must be valid fields. For example, if changing terms codes, all codes being changed must be valid terms codes. Changes made in this program do not affect transaction files or other modules.

Access this program by choosing Accounts Payable-->File Maintenances-->Transfer/Change Vendor Codes.

1. Select number

Enter the number of the field to be changed (1-6).

2. Order

3. Beginning order choice

Enter the beginning order choice.

4. Ending order choice
