Fields of the Manage Providers Screen

Field Description
Code

Enter a 20-character, uppercase, alphanumeric provider code. Each code must be unique. Make this code easily identifiable, as it can be used in reports.

Description

Enter up to 30 characters for a provider description. The Description field must be unique. The descriptions should be as short as possible and properly capitalized because they are used in drop-down lists and as column headings for reports and inquiries.

Vendor ID

Enter up to 20 characters to identify this provider with a vendor. The system uses the vendor ID when the payment method selected on an expense report is classified as Direct Pay. In this case, you pay the provider, instead of the employee that filled out the expense report.

Tax ID

Enter up to 20 characters to identify this provider's tax identification number. The system uses the tax ID to identify the correct vendor when taxable expenses are added.
