Vendors

Overview

Maintain suppliers and payees used by payables and purchasing.

Before you begin

Confirm the active subsidiary and details approved for master-data maintenance. Existing linked transactions must retain their references.

Main task

1. Open Vendors under Records and search before adding a supplier.
2. Create the vendor with the required identity, contact, and payment details; review currency and subsidiary applicability.
3. Check external identity fields when the vendor is synchronized from another system.
4. Save and open the detail page to verify data and available actions.

Check the result

Use an active, applicable vendor on bills, purchase orders, and vendor payments. Shared vendor identities can have subsidiary-specific availability.

If something goes wrong

Duplicate external IDs or missing subsidiary assignments can block saving or selection. Correct the master rather than creating a second identity.
