Basic Vendor Data - Activant Dimensions Getting Started

Basic Vendor Data

This section will help you actually begin gathering information for Accounts
Payable. You won't be entering anything in the computer, just gathering data to
get ready. Starting with your current system of tracking A/P, there are several
methods of gathering data:
1. If you are keeping records manually and have no preprinted vendor
information (as in a computer-printed report), use the A/P load form. Take
the blank load form on the next page and make as many copies as you need to
accommodate all your vendors. There is space for 4 vendors per page. Then
fill out the forms. The chart following the blank load form explains each field
on the load form.
2. If you are coming from a previous computer system, you won't need to fill out
load forms but you will need to print out a vendor list and make any notations
for corrections and additions.
3. If you ordered a file conversion for A/P, you also won't need to fill out load
forms. Dimensions will work with you to make sure your new system will
contain the proper information.
You should read through this section to gain a basic knowledge of what the vendor
fields contain, even if you are doing a file conversion.
