This tab is where you can manage vendor information, such as which communities the vendors are available for, vendor locations, contacts, vendor IDs for accounts payable, and accounts. Managing vendors is separated into two tabs based on how they are used in Property Manager: Vendor Locations and AP Vendors. For more informatiom, click the image below:
Vendors are either Outside Vendors, such as supply stores or service providers, or In-House Vendors, such as management or maintenance companies.
When a vendor is set up as an In-House Vendor, a corresponding Maintenance Company Export Entity must be created at System Administration > Accounting Setup - Export Information Setup using the Add Maintenance Company Export Information task. This export setup determines how AR Invoices, which are detailed in Maintenance Company Detail > AR Invoice Detail, are exported to your accounting system.
Once an In-House Vendor is added, employees can be assigned to the vendor at the System Administration > Employees tab.
For information about each tab, refer to the tab topics below:
