Vendor Creation

The Vendor option is used to enter and update Vendors, or companies that provide the user with goods and/or services, in the system. Information is also stored about Vendor Performance, according to the settings in the System Transaction Code 'Vendor Performance.' Vendor, Employee, and Customer codes cannot have the same number.
