Use this tab to change the
vendor number for an existing
firm from the
Firms hub.
This applies for
firms that are entered in the
Firms hub with a
firm type that is
Vendor.
Firm type is entered on the Summary pane in the
Firms hub. This utility changes the
vendor number for a
firm, not the
firm ID.
After the
vendor number is changed, the new
vendor number is updated in the
Firms hub. All associated fields and existing
accounts payable transactions are also updated with the new
vendor number.
