Specifies the number of the vendor. The field is either filled automatically from a defined number series, or you enter the number manually because you have enabled manual number entry in the number-series setup.
You can use one of the following methods to enter the number:
-
If you have set up a default vendor number series, press ENTER to have the program fill in this field with the next number in the series.
-
If you have set up more than one number series for vendors, click the field and select the series you want to use. The program will fill in the field with the next number in that series.
-
If you have not set up a number series for vendors, or if the number series has a check mark in the Manual Nos. field, you can enter a number manually. You can enter a maximum of 20 characters, both numbers and letters. For example, you can use the vendor's phone number as the vendor number.
The number identifies the vendor and is used when you post from a journal or set up quotes, orders, invoices and credit memos.
You cannot fill in the other fields in the Vendor table until you have entered a number in the No. field.
