Vendor Category Codes [FM]

Vendor Category Codes​

From the DockMaster menu, select File Maintenance > Vendor Category Codes

You may create and organize your vendors into groups that make sense for your company. These codes are attached to a vendor through the Vendor File.

You can separate your vendors into groups by size, location, type or even importance of account.

For example, you could divide your vendors into groups by type and assign each type a single digit code.

  • S Service
  • B Boat Manufacturer
  • W Warranty Vendor
  • E Employee
  • P Parts Wholesaler
  • U Utility Company

  The following programs use vendor categories:

  • A/P Cash Requirements A/P Aging Report
  • A/P Open Invoice List A/P 1099
  • A/P Contested Invoice List A/P Vendor History
  • A/P Invoice Register A/P Vendor Analysis

A list of codes will display on the screen. To add a new code:

  • Code – Enter a Vendor Category Code. The code can be alphanumeric up to three (3) characters long.
  • Description - Enter a description for this code.
  • Save – Press the Save button to add the code to the listing. The new code appears at the bottom of the list. The next time you open the Vendor Category Code Maintenance, the code will appear in alphabetical order.
