Creating Service Vendor Records

You need to create a vendor record for each of your company's service vendors. Use the Vendor Work Order Processing Maintenance screen to assign default values for the vendor's setup and process costs per process. If you perform value-add processes in house, you must still create a service vendor for each process. We recommend that you use your company's name, followed by the process name, to identify internal (in house) vendors.

To create a service vendor record:

From the Files menu, select Vendor to display the Vendor Maintenance screen.
Create a vendor record. If this is an internal vendor, in the Name field, enter your company name, a dash, and the process to perform, for example, ABC Distribution - Assembly.
Use the Add'l Data hot key to display the Additional Info screen.
Use the Work Order Proc hot key to display the Vendor Work Order Processing Maintenance screen.
Complete any of the following, as needed, for each vendor process:

Note: Leave any field blank that has a value that changes depending on the type of material modified.

Column	Description
Process	A description of the work to perform, such as Assembly or Painting.
Days	The number of days required to complete the step. The default value is 2.
Setup Cost	A dollar amount that identifies any costs incurred in preparation for processing one unit of the product.
Process Cost	A dollar amount that identifies any labor or other costs incurred during the process per specified unit of measure.
UM	The proportions of a specific item as it is costed for processing. These values include: ea – Cost per each unit. C – Cost per 100 units. M – Cost per 1000 units. Wt – Cost per pound. Lot (default value) – Cost for entire order.

Press Esc to return to the Additional Info screen.
Do one of the following:

internal vendor	use the Misc Vend Info hot key to display the Miscellaneous Vendor Information screen. Continue with the next step.
external vendor	Continue with step 10.

In the Override G/L Account Number field, enter the override account number for internal value-add processes.

Note: Never assign an override G/L account number to an external vendor, as a payable is involved.

Press Esc to exit the screen.
