There are a variety of ways to look up a Vendor, including the following:

Vendor Code Entry

Vendor Sort Codes        

Vendor Code Entry

Enter the Vendor Code, and press <ENTER>.

If you enter part of a Vendor name that is unique to the beginning part of a Vendor, then that one Vendor will automatically be retrieved without having to go into Lookup.

View All Vendors

If you do not know the Vendor Code, enter a <?> or type in a portion of their Vendor name, and press

<ENTER>. A list of all Vendors will be displayed.

Use the <PAGE UP> and <PAGE DOWN> keys to scroll through selections. Type in the Selection Number and press <ENTER>.

Last Vendor

To retrieve the last Vendor entered, press the <-> and press <ENTER>.

Next Vendor

To retrieve the next Vendor in a list, press the <+> and press <ENTER>. The next vendor will be displayed.

Vendor Sort Codes

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.

Enter in the Sort Code and press <ENTER>. If you do not know the Group Code, enter a <?> and press

<ENTER>. Use the <PAGE UP> and <PAGE DOWN> keys to scroll through the selections, if applicable. Type in the Selection Number, and press <ENTER>.

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 then look up Vendor Sort Codes by using Pattern Match.

Pattern Match

You can find 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 Customer Sort Code Pattern Match and press <ENTER>.
