11.1 Entering Additional Information for Suppliers

Navigation

From Accounts Payable (G04), choose Supplier and Voucher Entry

From Supplier and Voucher Entry (G0411), choose Supplier Master Information

Before you can process drafts or bank transfers, you must create a supplier master record. When you create a supplier master record, you set up information about how the system processes various business transactions for that supplier.

In Japan, in addition to the standard supplier information, you must set up information that is required to process drafts and bank transfers. This additional information includes:

• Payee address number

• Draft payment term

• Transfer type

Information about suppliers is stored in the following tables:

Table	Explanation
Supplier Master (F0401)	Contains supplier information
Address by Date (F0116)	Contains mailing address information
Bank Transit Number Master (F0030)	Contains bank account information
Japan A/B Additional Information (F750401)	Contains additional address book information that is maintained by the country server for Japan

You can access the additional information for a supplier from the Supplier Master Information screen when you add a new supplier to the system or change the information for an existing supplier. Alternatively, you can set up a user defined function key to access the additional information screen.

11.1.1 Before You Begin

• Verify that Japan is the country that you have selected for your user display preferences. See Section 4.1, "Setting Up User Display Preferences."

• Set up payment terms for drafts. See Setting up Payment Terms for A/P in the JD Edwards World Accounts Payable Guide.

• Set up a user defined codes file (system 75, type TT) for transfer types. See Section 5.1, "Setting Up User Defined Codes for Japan."
