The Name field on the AP Vendors form, Info tab.

Enter the vendor’s name, up to 60 characters, as you want it printed on computer-generated checks and reports.

Enter the sort name for this vendor, up to 15 characters. This field automatically defaults to the first 15 characters of the vendor’s name entered above.

You can override the default, but you might only do this in the case that the sort name is alphabetically incorrect. For example, if the vendor’s name were J. Smith Electric, you would probably enter the sort name as Smith, J.

The sort name must be unique. If the default provided is the same as that of an existing vendor, a message will be given that the sort name is already in use by another vendor and a different sort name will be required. It is recommended that the last characters may be changed to make the sort name unique.

The system uses this sort name for alphabetical sorting, such as on reports and lookups (F4). Vendor input fields will allow entry of either the vendor number or the vendor sort name. If entering the vendor sort name, the software will automatically switch to the vendor number. Because of this feature, it is important not to enter all numerics into the vendor sort name field.

You can change sort name, even after transactions have been posted. If you change a sort name for any given vendor, the system automatically cycles through all existing transactions for that vendor and adjusts the appropriate records accordingly.

About the AP Viewpoint ePayments Download Form

Enter the master vendor (from AP Vendors) for this vendor. Entering a master vendor here will make this vendor a sub vendor. The master vendor specified here cannot exist as a sub vendor. Likewise, this sub vendor cannot exist as a master vendor for another vendor.

Regular – Select this option if this vendor can be used when posting POs, Subcontracts, and regular invoices. Regular vendors may be suppliers too.

Subcontractor check box in the AP Vendors form.

This check box is optional.

Select this check box to affirm this vendor is a Subcontractor, and not another type of vendor.

Specify the default payment terms (from HQ Payment Terms) that will be used when posting transactions (AP Transaction Entry, AP Recurring Invoices) for this vendor.

Specify the default tax code to be used when posting non-job (Expense, Work Order, and Equip) purchase order items and transactions. Tax codes for job-related transactions will default from the JC Jobs.

Specify the default GL account to use when posting expense transactions for this vendor. May be overridden.

The CM Account field in the AP Vendors form.

Entry not required.

Enter a CM account only if you want the system to use this account by default when you create invoices for this vendor. You may opt to do this if you pay certain groups or types of vendors from only certain CM Accounts.

If you enter a CM account that is not on file with any AP Company that shares the assigned vendor group, the system prevents entry.

Considerations if your vendor master is shared across multiple companies

If you are sharing the vendor master across multiple companies (using a shared vendor group), make sure that the CM account that you specify exists in all companies, or the system may display errors and prevent saving when you process transactions using any of the these forms: AP Transaction Entry, AP Unapproved Invoice Entry, AP Recurring Invoices, MS Material Payment Worksheet, and MS Haul Payment Worksheet.

Now, let's say that for Vendor #1000, a user enters 250 in the CM Account field while in APCo #24. The problem in this case is that CM account number 250 does not exist for APCo #1.

The problem becomes apparent when another user creates a transaction in the AP Transaction Entry form in APCo #1, and specifies Vendor #1000: a warning displays and the system prevents the user from saving the record. The remedy is to either create CM account 250 in APCo #1 or use a CM Account that exists in both companies.

Indicates the latest date posted on an invoice transaction for this vendor. This date is updated each time an invoice transaction is posted to a date later than the one indicated here.
