Vendor
A vendor is a person or company that the entity is purchasing goods or services from. The vendor record contains basic biographical information as well as 1099 and New Hire reporting information. The 1099 fields are based on the IRS guidelines. The New Hire Reporting flags are used for vendors that need to be reported to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
The vendor number will be automatically assigned to the next available number on file unless you override the auto assign by entering a desired vendor number.
Check name and address fields are used if payment should be sent to a different name/location than the purchasing information.
A multi-vendor does not represent a real vendor but a place holder and is meant to be used for multi-vendor/blanket purchase orders. When invoicing a multi-vendor purchase order the user must change the vendor number to a valid USAS vendor (non multi-vendor). A vendor must always be a multi-vendor (or not multi-vendor). The system will not allow a user to change classifications once created.
See Previous/Next Navigation for details on navigating inside of the Vendor option.

Delete
Click on the Delete button while viewing the record to delete vendor information. A confirmation box will appear and you will be asked to confirm that you really do want to delete this vendor.
It is not recommended to delete old vendors since this might destroy an audit trail. If the vendor number is re-used, reports from prior fiscal years will not match current vendor information. We recommend changing the status from "active" to "inactive" instead. Vendors will only be able to be deleted if they are not used on any transactions currently in the database.
