AP510 - Vendor Conversion

Use Vendor Conversion (AP510) to convert vendors and alternate vendor
locations from a non-Lawson system to the Lawson Accounts Payable system.
After you load the appropriate vendor information into the Vendor Conversion
file, you can run this program to edit the information for completeness and
accuracy. If the information passes all edits, new vendor and alternate vendor
location records are created in the Lawson Accounts Payable system and the
corresponding records are purged from the conversion file.

You can use AP51 (Vendor Conversion Adjustments) to add vendor and location
information to the vendor and vendor location conversion files or to maintain
information already loaded into these files before you run this program. After
the appropriate vendor and location information has been loaded into the
conversion files, you can run this program to edit the information for
completeness and accuracy, create new vendor and location records in the
Lawson Accounts Payable system, and purge the corresponding records from the
conversion files.

Note that the vendor groups and vendor classes to which the converted vendors
are to be assigned must be valid records before you run this program. In
addition, you must define the following codes and information as valid records
if this information is to be converted as part of the vendor and alternate
vendor location records: currency codes, payment terms codes, hold codes,
accrual codes, cash codes, payment codes, distribution codes, income codes,
income withholding codes, tax codes, and vendor group user defined fields.

You can maintain vendor records in AP10 (Vendor) after you convert them.
