Convert Vendor Keys

Use the Vendor Key Conversion utility to change a vendor code or to close out (consolidate) vendor code data into a single vendor code.

You can consolidate data between two existing vendor codes. Alternatively, you can set up a new vendor code in which to close out vendor codes that are no longer in use.

When you consolidate vendor numbers, Vision consolidates budget amounts and 1099 amounts.

Prerequisite: Back up your Vision database.

To change vendor codes, complete the following steps:

1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Utilities > Key Conversions > Vendors.
2. Complete the fields on the Key Convert Vendors form.
3. Select one of the following options:

   Option	Description

   To run the conversion now	Click Run.
   To schedule the conversion to run on a regular basis via the process server	Click Schedule and complete the Schedule dialog box.
