Vendor Groups are used in Accounts Payable to define different groupings or categories of vendors. Once a vendor group is created, reports can be printed to only include the vendors tied to a particular vendor group, or a user can be tied to vendor groups in the User Security option in order to limit the user's access to only certain vendors within the School Accounting System and Web Link (if applicable), such as when entering invoices, purchase orders, or requisitions, or entering vendor information in Fixed Asset Inventory.
Vendors can be assigned to a vendor group from within the Vendor Groups or Vendors option, and one vendor can be assigned to multiple vendor groups, if needed.
