AP51.1 - Vendor Conversion

Use AP51.1 (Vendor Conversion) to define and maintain vendor records in the
Vendor Conversion file for conversion into the Lawson Accounts Payable system
or to maintain information previously loaded into these files. No edits are
performed on information you define or maintain on this form; however, you can
define or maintain vendor information before you run AP510 (Vendor Conversion)
which will edit the information, update the Lawson Accounts Payable files, and
delete updated records from the conversion files.

A vendor is any company or person you remit payments to. Use this form to
assign the vendor to a vendor class and define address information for the
vendor. The vendor group must be defined in AP00.1 (Vendor Group) and the
vendor class must be defined in AP00.3 (Vendor Class).

To define optional currency defaults for the vendor, choose the Currency
button to open the Vendor Currency subform. Use the subform if you want to
store a vendor's balance information in a currency different from the company
base currency.

To assign default codes to the vendor, choose the Defaults button to open the
Vendor Defaults subform.

To define vendor options, including an anticipation discount rate and an
income withholding indicator, choose the Options button to open the Vendor
Options subform.

To define optional payment processing, electronic transfer, and electronic
invoicing information, choose the Payment button to open the Vendor Payment
subform.

If you defined additional entry fields for the vendor group in AP00.1 (Vendor
Group), choose the User Fields button to open the User Defined Fields subform.
Use the subform or type information in the user defined fields.

AP51.2 - Vendor Location Conversion

Use AP51.2 (Vendor Location) to define and maintain vendor location records
in the vendor conversion file for conversion into the Lawson Accounts Payable
system or to maintain information previously loaded into these files. No edits
are performed on information you define or maintain on this form; however, you
can define or maintain vendor information before you run AP510 (Vendor
Conversion Update) which will edit the information, update the Lawson Accounts
Payable files, and delete updated records from the conversion files.

Alternate vendor locations are used to track remit to and purchase from
payment processing and balance information under a single vendor number. You
can define a location as a remittance address, a purchasing location, or both.
If you define payment processing and purchasing information specific to a
vendor location, you can report or inquire on that information both for the
individual location and the vendor as a whole. The system stores a separate
vendor balance for each location code.

Use this form to define the location type. The address information and
payment processing codes default from the vendor unless you override them on
this form.

To define optional currency defaults for the location, choose the Currency
button to open the Vendor Location Currency subform.

To assign default codes, choose the Defaults button to open the Vendor
Location Defaults subform.

To override payment processing, electronic transfer, or electronic invoicing
information that defaults from the vendor, choose the Payment button to open
the Vendor Payment subform.

If you defined additional entry fields for the vendor group, choose the User
Fields button to open the User Defined Fields subform. Use the subform to
override values that default from the vendor.
