Accounts Payable and Multiple Companies

If your enterprise uses multiple companies, you must set up accounts payable company settings for each company in your enterprise.

The name of the active company displays at the top of the form. You have security access to the liability codes, vendor type codes, and discount codes that are set up for the active company.

To change the active company in the browser application, click the name of the current company on the toolbar and select a company from the drop-down list. To change the active company in the desktop application, select Utilities > Change Company and then select a company on the Company Selection dialog box.

The vendors available to a company are controlled by settings on the Vendor tab of the Firms hub:

• The Approved for use in processing option must be selected and the fields must have data.
• The vendor type must be available to the active company. Each vendor type has accounts related to it. Depending on which accounts are assigned to a company, only the vendor types associated with those accounts are available to a company. The Vendor Type field on the Vendor tab of the Firms hub displays the vendor types that are available to the active company.
