AC03.4 – Vendor Assignment

About AC03.4

Use Vendor Assignment (AC03.4) to assign Accounts Payable vendors or Employee Expense employees to activities. Before you can associate a vendor resource with an activity, the vendor must be defined in Vendor (AP10.1). For example, define the valid subcontractors assigned to the activity.

More information: Choose Roles to access Role Assignment (AC03.7). Use AC03.7 to associate roles with resources, including AC Person, HR Employee, Asset, Vendor, and Equipment. Choose More to access Resource Account (AC03.9). Use AC03.9 to associate a company, accounting unit, and account with the resource/activity or activity group combination. This is the default expense account information forResource Journal Entry (AC41.1), Subcontractor Time and Material Entry (AC42.1) and Transaction Interface Adjustment (AC54.1) only. Choose Rates to access Assigned Vendor Resource Rates (AC18.3). Use AC18.3 to associate rates with assigned vendors/activity or activity group combinations. If the Vendor Validation flag on Activity Group (AC00) is Y and you use AC54/AC540 to interface vendors, or the AC40x forms to create resource or journal entries, then you must assign the vendors here. However, theResource Validation flag on Activity Group (AC00) will override the Vendor Validation flag for the AC54/540 programs. You can assign a Vendor to an activity at any level, not just the posting level. Creating the assignment at a level above posting might simplify setup because all assignments apply to any children activities. You can use Resource Assignment Listing (AC203) to list the resources assigned to an activity.
