This will outline the setup of a new Vendor in the application. To setup a vendor a one time setup must be done to add the following. *Unit: Vendor *Group: Vendor *Job: Vendor *Department: Vendor *Position: Vendor The position should have an FTE Override of "May Exceed FTE" *Payroll: Vendor - if you are using UPDISBV Each new Vendor is then "Hired" into the application. The person_code is over written to start with leading"V" to designate they are a vendor. The [IPPM] should be setup to allow for direct deposit payments. If the [AP_VENDOR] is setup then the vendor can be setup on each individual transaction. A choice is then made on which process to follow *[UPVEND] :function is run to create an Accounts Payable (AP) interface file. *[UPDISBV] :This process describes how vendor payments are placed into the disbursement tables and not how they are actually paid.
