Use this drop-down list to select the vendor type.
You set up vendor types on the Vendor Types tab of System AP Configuration. You then set up liability codes on the Liability Codes tab of Company AP Configuration. Each liability code is associated with an account number from your general ledger. You use the Vendor Types tab of Company AP Configuration to associate each vendor type with a liability code (and account number).
When you enter a vendor in AP Vouchers Transaction Entry, Vision inserts the associated liability code for the vendor type in the
AP Liability field. The account number associated with the liability code receives the credit (implicit) when you post the AP voucher.
You can change the default liability code during transaction entry.
If you use the Multicompany feature, vendor types are specified at the enterprise level. You can specify which vendor types are available to each company in your enterprise.

(The default tax codes on the New File dialog box prefill from the Tax Auditing tab in

Example: A vendor's default tax code entered in the Vendor Info Center is XXX. The default tax codes that are entered on the Tax Auditing tab in Accounting Company Settings that prefill on the New File dialog box are AAA (with sequence 5), BBB (with sequence 30), and CCC (with sequence 45). Tax code XXX from the vendor record will override tax code AAA (with sequence 5, the lowest sequence number) when AP vouchers and AP disbursements are entered in the Transaction Center for that particular vendor. The tax codes used for the transactions for that vendor are XXX, BBB, and CCC.
If no tax codes are entered on the New File dialog box in Transaction Entry and a vendor has a default tax code entered in the
Default Tax Code field in the Vendor Info Center, the default tax code from the Vendor Info Center is used to calculate taxes for the AP voucher and AP disbursement. You can override this tax code when you enter an AP voucher and AP disbursement as needed.
