Entering Additional Vendor Information

Vendor records may require more detailed information than can be provided on the Vendor Maintenance screen, so the hot keys on the Vendor Additional Info screen provide more options.

To enter additional vendor information:

  1. From the Files menu, select Vendor to display the Vendor Maintenance screen.

  2. In the Vendor/New field, enter a Vendor ID to display the vendor record.

  3. Use the Add'l Data hot key to display the hot keys on the Additional Info screen.

  4. Use the following hot keys as needed:
