Vendor/Customer Setup

The Vendor/Customer (VCUST) table allows you to set up all vendors and customers that are used throughout CGI Advantage Procurement.  The Vendor/Customer table is dependent upon several other tables.

The following tables will either be set up before or immediately after implementation. (Table names preceded with an asterisk are discussed in a separate section.)

Depending on your site’s security setup, records can be added to this table manually or through a Vendor Customer Creation (VCC) document.  And, records can be modified on this table manually or through a Vendor Customer Modification (VCM) document.  You can click on the Create New Record or Modify Existing Record links at the bottom of this table to easily create these documents.  You can also create these documents from the Document Catalog.

The Vendor Commodity Search (VENDCOMM) page allows you to search through all vendors that have registered for commodities in Advantage. You can navigate through the grid by using the First, Prev, Next, and Last links. You can also use the Search link to only view vendors registered for a specific commodity/commodities. Based on user security settings, you can also assign/remove commodities for vendors using the Vendor Commodity Maintenance (VENDCOM2) page.  Any commodities added or removed using VENDCOMM are also updated on the Commodity section on the VCUST table and vice versa.
