Vendor

The Vendor tab contains information about the vendor. Depending on the type of vendor, Advantage Financial can automatically fill in some of the vendor fields, based on setup options, thereby reducing data entry.

Refer to the "Vendor" topic in the CGI Advantage Transactions User Guide for common information on the Vendor tab.

Required/Conditionally Required FieldsRequired/Conditionally Required Fields

The following fields are required, when the vendor is a miscellaneous one. For normal vendors, the following values will be inferred:

Address Line 1
City
State – Conditionally required based on Country configuration
Zip – Conditionally required based on Country configuration

The following fields are required when the Address Override indication is true, otherwise the fields are optional. The set of override fields are delivered as hidden but can be made visible and used to contribute different address than what was entered/inferred for the vendor. If the fields are used and should be blank if the override is not true, then a Configurable Validation is needed for the MD Vendor with the following Validation: (REMIT_ADV_FL == null or !REMIT_ADV_FL) and (!empty(REMIT_ADV_LN1) or !empty(REMIT_ADV_LN2) or !empty(REMIT_ADV_CITY) or !empty(REMIT_ADV_ZIP) or !empty(REMIT_ADV_ST) or !empty(REMIT_ADV_CTRY)) and a Validation Field of REMIT_ADV_FL.

Field Description

Source System Name

Optional

An optional field that can be used for tracking the external system from which payment and disbursement information has been imported or interfaced.

For this CVL to be used, records need to be added to the CVL_LEG_SRC_SYS_NM table. If capturing this data, similar updates to make the two fields visible need to be done for the various transaction codes in the Automatic Disbursement, Manual Disbursement, and Disbursement Reclassification transaction types as well as on the Disbursement Query, Disbursement Request, and Disbursement Request by Transaction pages.

Source System Reference Number

Optional

An optional field available for recording a reference number or ID from an external system, used to track the origin of payment and disbursement information that has been imported or interfaced. A Configurable Validation is required to make this field required when a Source System Name is supplied.
