Vendor
This field will only display with the Project Financials family of Unanet licenses.
This field is intended to be used with the Unanet Financials functionality to indicate which Vendor Organization the current user is to be associated with. A vendor organization association will need to be established if you intend to create any accounts payable documents for this user. This will be necessary for company employees (in order to process expense report reimbursements) and will be necessary for subcontractor users (in order to create any accounts payable documents from these user's timesheets or expense reports). As such, you can designate a Vendor relationship on the person profile Time tab and/or on the Expense tab.
Vendors in Unanet are Organizations that have been designated to be a "vendor" (an entity you intend to make payment to). You will likely need to have a Vendor Organization created for every employee requiring expense reimbursement and every other external company and subcontractor you will need to issue payments to. Establishing an organization as a Vendor (for a Legal Entity) is done on the Organization > Edit > Vendor Profile screen. See Vendor Profiles for more information about Unanet Vendors.
Note that the Vendor Organization associated with a particular Unanet user must belong to the same Legal Entity as the Legal Entity associated with the user's Person Organization (established on the Person Profile > Profile tab). It may be that the user's Person Org and Vendor Org are one in the same, but it may also be that they are different (for example, subcontractors may be assigned to an internal company organization for reporting purpose but want payment issued to their parent Vendor firm or directly to themselves should they be an independent subcontractor).
Valid values in this field will include:
Note: If the user has Designate this user as subcontractor on the Roles tab selected, this field will prepopulate with the vendor from the Person Organization on the Profile tab and will be disabled.
