Using Vendor Messages

Vendor messages are brief messages that appear on purchase orders and claims. Each message is represented in the Vendor Messages table by a code. When the code for the message is entered in the VENDOR MSG fixed-length field of a vendor record, all purchase orders and claims to that vendor will contain the message.

To use a vendor message:

  1. Add the message and its code in the Vendor Messages table.
  2. Identify the vendor that requires the message to appear on purchase orders and claims.
  3. Locate the vendor record for the vendor.

You can use Create Lists to create review files of vendor records that require vendor messages.

  1. Edit the vendor record by inserting the vendor message's code in the VENDOR MSG fixed-length field.
