Creating, Editing, and Deleting a Vendor

You can use a vendor to associate companies with Enterprise Cash Management (ECM) paid-in and paid-out transactions for reporting purposes.

  1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise, zone, property, or revenue center, click Setup and Vendors.
  2. Insert a record, enter a unique name for the vendor, and click OK.
  3. (Optional) Select an account from the drop-down list to associate with the vendor.

    The vendor always uses the selected account for any ECM paid-in or paid-out transactions.

  4. Select the appropriate vendor options.

    Option Description

    1 - Deactivate Vendor

    A newly created vendor is active by default. Select this option to prevent further selection of the vendor when performing transactions. For example, you can use this option to place a credit hold.

    2 - Invoice Data Required (optional)

    Select this option to require the workstation operator to enter invoice information (for example, Date, Invoice Number, and Description) when performing a transaction for the vendor that can collect invoice data (for example, paid-out).

    3 - Require Reference on Use

    Select this option to require the workstation operator to enter a reference when performing a transaction that requires a vendor.

  5. If you want to edit a vendor, highlight the record, change the values, and click Save.
  6. If you want to delete a vendor, highlight the record and select Delete.

    The application only allows you to delete vendors that are not referenced in historical reporting activity.

  7. Click Save.
