Understanding Supplier Master Information
Before you enter a voucher and issue payment to a supplier, you must create a supplier master record for that supplier. The supplier master record is the central storage place for all supplier information. When you create a supplier record, you set up address book and mailing information, as well as information about how the system processes vouchers and payments for that supplier. You use the Address Book Revisions program (P01012) and the Supplier Master (P04012) program to create a supplier record.
The information that you enter in a supplier record is stored in these tables:
Table Name |
Stored Information |
|---|---|
Address Book Master (F0101) |
Alpha name and factor/special payee |
Address Book- Who's Who (F0111) |
Mailing name |
Supplier Master (F0401) |
Supplier information |
Address Book - Contact Phone Numbers (F0115) |
Telephone number |
Address by Date (F0116) |
Mailing address information |
Bank Transit Master (F0030) |
Bank account information |
You need to maintain only one address book number for each supplier throughout the various systems. For example, if you use the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form to review information or if you run reports such as A/R and A/P Netting, the system uses the same address book number.
You can create a supplier record from either of these forms:
Work With Addresses
Work With Supplier Master
Note: The Supplier Master program contains a processing option that enables you to specify a version of the Address Book Revisions program to use when creating supplier master records using the Supplier Master program. Be sure the version that you specify in the Supplier Master processing option is the same as the versions of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book program that you use to enter new address book information.

You can generate a report to show supplier balance information.
