7.6.2 Vendor Sort Code Entry

Vendor Sort Codes are defined by you and used to group Vendors into categories, such as Merchandise Vendor or Overhead Vendor. You may have three positions in a Sort Code. It is not necessary to use all three positions.

Example of Vendor Sort Codes:

You set up the Vendor Sort Codes as follows: 

F = Fixed Overhead Vendor 

MAT = Merchandise Vendors of Auto Paint that you order Truck loads from.

MA = Merchandise Vendors of Auto Paint

MH = Merchandise Vendors of House Paint.

You may lookup any level of the Sort Code by using the pattern match. This is available in any report asking for a Vendor Sort Code.

You can choose a Sort Code through a Pattern Match using the <*>. Examples of pattern matches are:  12* = all codes starting with 12; *3* = all codes with 3 in the second position; **1 = all codes with 1 in the last position. If a blank is in any position, the system will search for a blank in that position, (ex: 3* = all group codes with 3 in the first position and nothing in the third position). Type in the Vendor Sort Code Pattern Match and press <ENTER>.

Type in your user defined Vendor Sort Code of up to 3 characters and press <ENTER>. If that Sort Code already exists you will be at the "Enter Selection" prompt.

Type in a description for the Sort Code and press <ENTER>.
