Understanding Vendor Tables
This topic discusses vendors and the integration between HCM and PeopleSoft Payables.
A vendor is any agency or organization that the company sends money to on behalf of a worker or that the company uses to withhold money from a person's paycheck. Vendors can be:
Benefit providers
Garnishment payees
Tax collectors
The system stores information about the vendor in the Vendor table. It holds the information necessary to make payments to a vendor and the policy information for a benefit provider.
Payables, Payroll for North America and Human Resources, Manage Base Benefits use Integration Broker to populate each other's Vendor tables.
Note: If you are using PeopleSoft Payables to pay your vendors, we recommend that you enter and update vendors in the Vendor table through PeopleSoft Payables and export the Vendor table to PeopleSoft Human Resource Management System (HCM).
Warning! If you update vendors through the HCM tables, the contact information is exported to the Payable system. However, any changes to existing vendor bank information that are made through HCM will not be exported to the Payables system.
Integration Points
