USAS-R Vendor Makeover

Introducing the New and Improved Vendor!

USAS-R Vendors

Changes in number tracking

 Image Added

I'm dreaming of a... multi-vendor PO without having to create a vendor number for it!  Classic USAS requires a vendor be created for 'multi-vendor' purposes on a purchase you want to pay several vendors against.   Classic also requires you to track a separate set of vendor numbers for memo processing (a.k.a. 900000 numbers).  Our gift to you this year.... no unnecessary numbers need to be assigned for these types of transactions in the redesign. 

Memo Vendors

When creating a vendor, you will assign a ‘Default Payment Type of either Check, Electronic or ACH.  (The ACH feature is not available in USAS-R yet). 

If you are creating a memo-type of expenditure, where a physical check is not needed, you will select the ‘Electronic’ option.  As for the vendor number, you can let it auto assign to the next available number on the system or enter a vendor number of your choosing.   You no longer need to assign a number within the specific range of 900000-999999 for a memo-type transaction.  The redesign will differentiate between a “regular’ vendor and a ‘memo’ vendor via based on the ‘default payment type’, not by the vendor number assigned.

Multi-Vendors

In Classic, you needed need to create a vendor number and flag it as a multi-vendor in order to create a multi-vendor PO.  Multi-vendor numbers do not exist in the redesign.  If you create a requisition or purchase order with the intention of paying different vendors against it, you will leave the vendor field blank on the requisition or PO.  A requisition and/or purchase order do not require a vendor to be entered.  When you are ready to ‘fill’ the invoice via the AP Invoice module, the system will know this must be a multi-vendor PO and will require a vendor be entered for that particular invoice.
