I have been issued a “customer account” number by a vendor I have used before. Where should this number be indicated in DaFIS?
A. Customer account numbers are not added to the Vendor Maintenance table by Purchasing. However, a department can cite them on Purchasing and Accounts Payable documents. Citing a customer account number may expedite processing time by a vendor. When processing a Departmental Purchase Order or Purchase Requisition indicate the customer account number in the Cust Account field in the Header section of the document. If you want the customer account number to appear on the check to the vendor, make sure it is indicated in the Payment Purpose Text field on your Accounts Payable document.
