VENDOR USER-DEFINED INFO

Use this screen to assign values to the user-defined fields for each vendor in the General Ledger. The labels for these user-defined fields must already have been established in the Vendor User-Defined Labels screen.

Entering information in this screen is optional. However, if you enter labels in the various tables, the corresponding data (date, value, or text) is required. Similarly, in order to enter data, a valid label is required. You can use Lookup, Find, or Query to help you select valid user-defined labels.

If you are using user-defined information, you should set up this screen up for each new vendor, and maintain it whenever you need to change vendor user-defined data.

Vendor ID

Use Find or Query to select a valid vendor. Once you have selected a vendor, the vendor name is displayed.
