Field Description |

Conditionally Required |
An optional field to record the identifying code of a vendor or a customer. A value can be required per Transaction Control, Event Type Requirements, or always required by transaction type. From the value entered in this field, an Address Code and Contact ID can be inferred if there is a default defined and the account is not a miscellaneous one. |

A required name for miscellaneous and non-miscellaneous vendors and customers. In the case of a non-miscellaneous account, this name will be inferred to what has been registered. |

Address Code |
Conditionally Required |
A required field if a non-miscellaneous vendor or customer is used. If there is a default address defined that matches the type of address required by the transaction type, this field will default, else it has to be selected. The value entered in this field will enable the defaulting of other address and contact information upon a save action if such information does not already exist. For this reason, if the address code is changed, address fields must be cleared out by the user to infer new values. If a non-miscellaneous account, this field should be left blank. |
