PeopleSoft procurement applications capture and track vendor information to ensure that you can satisfy vendors by having the answers to their questions at your fingertips. You can easily enter straightforward or complex vendor definitions that capture your true relationship with a vendor. You can also enter information from conversations with vendors to manage your contacts more effectively. Even if you have not spoken to a vendor contact for months, your vendor profile enables you to recall details as though you had your last conversation yesterday.
This section discusses:
Vendor profiles.
Vendors in the control hierarchy.

Defining Vendor Information for the Entity
Within PeopleSoft applications, all payees are considered vendors. This includes suppliers, employees, attorneys, and so on. You create vendor profiles to store all the information that you need to know about vendors to manage their interests and yours proactively. The information that you provide is up to you. It can be as simple as a vendor name and address or, more likely, a wealth of information about payment terms and methods as well as voucher processing defaults.
Vendor information is principally shared by PeopleSoft Payables and PeopleSoft Purchasing, so that one or both departments can enter vendor information. You may want to set up your system so that purchasing users can enter vendor information, but only accounts payable users can approve vendors for payment, or vice versa; it's up to you.
To create or update vendor profiles for all types of vendors in either product, you use the pages in the Vendor Information component. PeopleSoft has organized the system to help you easily enter, update, and inquire in these primary areas:
Vendor identification.
Vendor approval.
Vendor conversations.
Vendor bank accounts.
Vendor withholding information.
All vendor information for regular vendors, one-time vendors, and permanent vendors is stored in the same set of vendor tables. So if you decide that the contractor that you used last week on a trial basis is the ideal company to use for a long term remodeling project, you merely update the Persistence field on the Identifying Information page, without rekeying information or storing redundant data.
As you enter vendor profiles into the system, you can define a set of vendors for each business unit, or you can share vendors across multiple business units. You can even define multiple locations for a vendor.
The following diagram shows how vendor information is positioned in the PeopleSoft procurement control hierarchy. As you define vendors, you can specify various types of control information, such as duplicate invoice checking and voucher approval processing, that either appears by default from the hierarchy or can be overridden and changed for a specific vendor:
PeopleSoft procurement control hierarchy
A vendor location is not a physical address. It is a default set of rules, or attributes, that define how you conduct business with a particular vendor. A vendor location comprises information such as procurement options (including payment terms, currency information, and shipping method), VAT options, payment options, withholding options, pay to bank accounts, and so on. And although a location is not an address, it does reference addresses.
Your vendor may need only one location. If the vendor uses the same set of rules across its business, you can enter one location for your vendor, and you're ready to go. If, however, your vendor uses different sets of procurement rules for different portions of its business (different branches, sites, or offices, for example), PeopleSoft procurement products enable you to set up the vendor with multiple locations, each with its own unique set of business rules.
If, for example, company ABC has offices in New York, Vancouver, and London, each office may require different currency information, payment terms, pay to bank accounts, VAT or sales and use tax (SUT) requirements, and so on. In this case, you could set up the vendor with three locations (that is, three sets of rules)—one for each office.
Vendors may also have unique requirements for pricing and remitting. For this reason, from each vendor location, you can also point to other vendor locations for remitting and pricing. (The vendor's invoice information and payment terms reside at the vendor location level, so it makes sense to determine the remitting and pricing rules here.)
If your vendor has only one address from which it conducts all its procurement functions (ordering, invoicing, remitting, and returning), enter the one address on the Vendor Information - Address page; the system uses this address as the default for all of the functions on the Vendor Information - Location page. Some vendors have different addresses for different procurement functions. For this reason, the system enables you to enter several different addresses for each vendor location.
Returning to the previous example, company ABC's offices may each have multiple addresses for ordering, invoicing, remitting, and returning. Because they have different procurement rules, each office has its own location; because each location may have different addresses for different business transactions, each location can have multiple addresses.
In summary, a vendor can have many physical addresses. A location can also have many addresses. Equally, addresses can be shared between locations. Some vendors may not be this complicated; they may only require one location and one address. Other vendors may have several locations and addresses. The PeopleSoft system accommodates both types of vendors.

When you're preparing to enter a new vendor into the system, you first gather all the information that you need to track for the company with which you're doing business, such as:
Identifying information, including status, class, and other basic business information that tells you what kind of vendor you're entering.
Physical addresses for the vendor.
Location information, including remit to and pricing locations.
Procurement defaults that define your relationship with your vendor and tell the system how to handle purchasing and accounts payable transaction errors and approvals.
Payment options that establish defaults for payment processing.
Information used to process withholding.
Information used to process VAT.
SUT information.
Vendor contacts.
Vendor bank accounts used for EFT processing.
You can also use PeopleSoft self-service applications to enhance your vendor relationships. PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection is a baseline supply side self-service web application designed to provide vendors with convenient, flexible, and easy access to information. Vendors access PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection to view and modify their own business information—company address, phone, and contact data. They can also review schedule, invoice, payment, order, and receipt activity, as well as view their account balances and the invoices related to those balances. In addition, with PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection you can direct your suppliers to transact on Request for Quotes (RFQs), purchase order acknowledgements (POAs), and Advanced Shipment Notifications (ASNs) for dispatched purchase orders. When dispatching using email, you can automatically include a link for the supplier which takes them into the appropriate PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection page for RFQs and Purchase Orders. To enable a supplier to access PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection, you define a supplier side user using the Define Vendor User component.
Note. Pages used to define Vendor User information are specifically used for external vendor access and are not used for internal access to PeopleSoft Purchasing or PeopleSoft Payables.

PeopleSoft Enterprise eSupplier Connection 8.9 PeopleBook
Here is a visual representation of the steps that you take to manage your vendor relationships:
You cannot enter vouchers for a vendor until the vendor has been approved. Likewise, a vendor must be approved and open for ordering before you can enter purchase orders (POs) for the vendor. You set up vendor approvers on the User Preferences - Procurement page. Approvers can view vendors for approval and approve them using the Vendor Approval component (APPROVE_VENDOR). A vendor is automatically set to approved status if the user who entered it is set up as an approver.
See Also
Before you can archive a vendor, you must first archive the payments and then the related vouchers for that vendor. You can archive inactive vendors from your system by using the Vendor Archive Request Process page.
See Also
PeopleSoft Payables enables you to enter a voucher for a one-time vendor without adding rows to vendor tables. You must set up at least one single payment vendor, which is used as the master vendor for single payment vouchers. The master vendor can include such general information as tax, payment method, payment terms, and bank account defaults. You enter any information that is particular to a vendor—such as the vendor's name and address—directly on the single payment voucher. PeopleSoft recommends that you define a single payment vendor for each tax environment you work in, in situations where vendor tax information is used to calculate tax on transactions.

Entering Single Payment Vendors
PeopleSoft enables you to check for duplicate vendors in realtime when you enter new vendors in the Vendor Information component. You can also run a report to find duplicate vendors.
See Also
Reporting on Duplicate Vendors
Before you enter vendors in the system, you must:
Establish the vendor set controls by setID on the Vendor Set Control page, where you define whether to use autonumbering, whether to display withholding or value-added tax (VAT) information, and whether electronic funds transfer (EFT) prenotes should be generated for vendors who request that payment method. You can also specify the number of wait days for EFT prenote autoconfirmation and a default country for the set of vendors.
Define vendor approvers using the User Preferences component.
Define ship-to-locations.
(Optional) Define pay group codes.
(Optional) Set up withholding (for withholding-applicable vendors only)
(Optional) Set up tax information.
(Optional) Set up bank accounts (for vendors who can be paid by electronic funds transfer).
(Optional) Define government certifications.
(Optional) Set up matching options.
(Optional) Set up the accounting entry template.

SetID |
Displays the setID that you selected for a vendor. |
Vendor |
Displays the vendor ID for a vendor. |
Location |
Displays the location for a vendor. A vendor location is not a physical address. It is a default set of rules, or attributes, that define how you conduct business with a particular vendor. |
To enter vendor identifying information, use the Vendor Information component (VNDR_ID) and the Vendor User component (VENDOR_USER).
Use the VNDR_ID_EXCEL component interface to load data into the tables for this component.
Note. There is another Vendor Information component interface (VNDR_ID) used by the Vendor Enterprise Integration Point (EIP) for loading vendors into the PeopleSoft Payables and Purchasing vendor tables. You can use the Vendor EIP to import vendor information from PeopleSoft Payroll, PeopleSoft Student Administration, and external systems using XML messaging and to publish vendor information to these PeopleSoft and external systems. You can also use the VNDR_IMPORT application engine process to import vendors from a flat file into the PeopleSoft Payables and Purchasing vendor tables. These import processes are described in another chapter.
This section discusses how to:
Add new vendors.
Enter identifying information.
Specify VAT registration details.
See Also
When you add a new vendor, the system prompts you to enter a vendor ID, which is the primary key to the vendor tables; the vendor ID is a unique identifier that you can use to locate specific vendor information. Depending on how you set up your autonumbering defaults on the Vendor Set Control page, you enter either your own unique vendor ID or let the system assign one for you. Each vendor belonging to a setID must have a unique number for its vendor ID. If you have enabled autonumbering, the vendor ID appears as NEXT on the search page. The system assigns a sequential ID number after you enter the vendor information and save the page.
When you are adding a new vendor to PeopleSoft Payables, you must specify information for these fields:
SetID |
Select a setID, or click the drill-down button to look up a setID. |
Vendor ID |
If you have elected to have the system assign vendor IDs, Next appears by default in this field; otherwise, enter a vendor ID in this field. |
Select a persistence level for this vendor. Values are: One Time, Permanent, Regular, and Single Payment Vendor. Note. If you specify a persistence level of Single Payment Vendor when you add a new vendor, the first page in the Vendor Information component that you enter is the Single Payment Vendor
page. |
|
When adding a vendor, click to check for duplicate vendors. Note. You must enter duplicate vendor checking options on the Vendor Set Control page to enable duplicate vendor checking. If you also select the Check for duplicates at save option on the Vendor Set Control page, then the system automatically checks for duplicates when you save the vendor. Use the Check for Duplicates button when you want to check for duplicates before you save the vendor. |
See Also
Defining Vendor Control Parameters
Access the Identifying Information page.
Vendor Short Name |
Provides an alternate search key to access vendor data. The system enables you to assign the same vendor short name to multiple vendors, and it makes the short name unique by adding a numeric value to the end. For example, if you enter the vendor short name SMITH, when you save, the system makes the short name SMITH-001. If you ever have another vendor for whom you want to use SMITH as the short name, the system enters SMITH-002, and so on. |
Vendor Name 1 and Vendor Name 2 |
Enter the vendor's name. There are two lines for the vendor name (vendor name 1 and vendor name 2), in case you're dealing with divisions, subsidiaries, or other complex organization entities that require detailed identification. |
If you enabled alternate characters in your user preferences and want to enter alternate characters for the vendor, click the Alternate Name button next to either of the vendor name fields to enter or display alternate characters on the page that appears. Note. This button appears on the page only if you have enabled the option on the User Preferences - Overall Preferences page. |
|
Status |
Displays the vendor's status. Values are: Approved: If you have authority to approve vendors as defined in your procurement user preferences, the system automatically assigns a status of Approved to the vendor. The system does not recognize a vendor as approved unless an authorized payables or purchasing user enters or approves it. Inactive: You cannot enter new vouchers for this vendor. To Archive: You cannot enter new vouchers for this vendor; the vendor is purged from the system. Unapproved: If you do not have the authority to approve vendors as defined in your procurement user preferences, another user needs to approve the vendor before users can enter vouchers into the system for this vendor. |
Classification |
Select the vendor's classification. Values are: Attorney: Indicates that the vendor is an attorney. Employee: Assign this classification to vendors only if they are company personnel. HRMS (human resources management system): Indicates that the vendor is a third-party vendor from the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) system, such as an insurance carrier or taxing authority. Selecting this value activates the HCM Class field. Supplier: Most vendors are suppliers. |
HCM Class |
Select a human resources class. This field is available for entry only if you select HCM in the Classification field. If you use PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (PeopleSoft HCM) in conjunction with PeopleSoft Payables, select one of the following values to define HCM vendors. Most of these classifications define third-party vendors who need to be paid the amounts that were deducted from employee paychecks in the HCM software (benefits and payroll). Deduction amounts from these systems, consisting of both employee and employer contributions for third parties, are paid through accounts payable as standard vendor vouchers. Garn Pay (garnishment payee): Indicates that the vendor is a garnishment payee—that is, the recipient of garnishments such as child support or alimony payments. Gen Deduct (general deductions): Indicates that the vendor receives general deductions such as union dues, health club dues, stock purchase contributions, credit union deposits, and so on. Gen Prov (general provider): Indicates that the vendor is a general provider. Ins Prov (insurance provider): Indicates that the vendor is an industrial insurance board provider. Nat'l Prov (national provider): Indicates that the vendor is a national health service provider. Part Prov (partner provider): Indicates that the vendor is an implementation partner provider. Tax Col (tax collector): Indicates that the vendor is a tax collector. |
Persistence |
Select the vendor's persistence. Values are: One-Time: Select for vendors you know you will use only once. You can enter only one voucher for this vendor, after which the vendor status changes to Inactive automatically. Note. A one-time vendor is different from a single payment vendor in that a one-time vendor adds rows to the vendor tables. A single payment vendor does not affect vendor tables and is used as the default master vendor for single payment vouchers. Permanent: Select for vendors you know your organization will always use, even if not on a frequent basis. You can create an unlimited number of vouchers for this vendor. The vendor is not purged from the system unless you specifically request that they be archived in a vendor archive request. See Archiving Data. Regular: Select for a vendor only if you don't mind that it is removed from the system once activity for the vendor stops for a designated period. You can create an unlimited number of vouchers for this vendor. However, if there is no activity for the vendor by the as of date in a vendor archive request, the vendor is purged from the system. Note. If you select Single Payment Vendor as the persistence when adding a vendor, the system opens the Single Payment Vendor page, on which you can set up the vendor options that you want to appear by default on single payment vouchers. |
Select when entering VAT-applicable vendors, to activate the Registration, VAT Default, and VAT Service Treatment Setup links. This check box appears only if you selected the Display VAT Flag check box on the Vendor Set Control page. |
|
Registration |
For VAT-applicable vendors, click to open the VAT Registration Details page, on which you can enter VAT registration information for the vendor. |
VAT Default |
For VAT-applicable vendors, click to open the VAT Defaults Setup component to review and, as applicable, enter VAT settings for the vendor. Note. You must save the vendor before you can access the VAT Defaults Setup component for the vendor. |
VAT Service Treatment Setup |
If you are using services VAT treatment, click to open the Services VAT Treatment Drivers Setup component, to review and, as applicable, enter services VAT treatment settings for the vendor. Note. You must save the vendor before you can access the Services VAT Treatment Drivers Setup component for the vendor. |
When entering withholding or 1099 vendors, select to enable withholding for the vendor. You specify withholding options on the Withholding Vendor Information page. Note. While the Withholding option and the Withholding Vendor Information page are available to you to make updates after you have defined your vendors, the most efficient way to handle withholding vendors is to make sure that you mark them as withholding when you first enter them. If you do, all vouchers that you enter for withholding vendors are automatically flagged for withholding reporting as you enter them into the system. |
|
Open For Ordering |
Select to certify the vendor for purchasing goods and services. If this check box is clear, you cannot enter purchase orders (POs) for this vendor in PeopleSoft Purchasing. |
Corporate Vendor and Corporate Vendor ID |
Select to associate the vendor that you are creating with a corporate vendor. Select a corporate vendor ID. |
InterUnit Vendor and InterUnit Vendor ID |
Select to identify this vendor as an interunit vendor. Specify the business unit that represents this vendor and select an interunit vendor ID. See Using Interunit and Intraunit Accounting and ChartField Inheritance. |
Create Bill-To Customer
Create Bill To Customer |
Select this check box if you want the system to automatically create a bill to customer upon saving the vendor. The bill to customer is created with default information. To view the bill to customer that was created use the Additional ID Numbers section of this page. The default value is defined on the Installation Options - Purchasing page. |
Support Team Code |
Select a support team for this bill to customer. |
Collector |
Select a collector for this bill to customer. |

Note. After the bill to customer is successfully created the Create Bill-To Customer group box will no longer appear on the page. To modify the bill to customer, use the Bill To Customer Details link under the Additional ID Numbers section of this page.
Additional ID Numbers
Enter information-only additional identifiers for the vendor in the Additional ID Numbers collapsible region. The data here is not used for processing, but may be required for reporting purposes.
Customer ID |
If this vendor is also a customer, enter the valid receivables ID. If you automatically create a bill to customer from this page, this field displays the bill to customer that the system automatically created. |
Bill To Customer Details |
Click this link to access the General Information component for this bill to customer. Use this component to complete the definition of the bill to customer. |
Our Customer Number |
Enter the number by which your vendor identifies you as the customer. |
Type |
Associate the vendor with a reporting entity by selecting the type of number that you are adding. PeopleSoft delivers some ID numbers with the system, but you can also add your own. Examples of the types of ID numbers that you might want to add for the vendors include: ACN: company number - Australia. CCM: municipal registration number - Brazil. CGC: company tax registration number - Brazil. CPF: Ind tax registration number - Brazil. DB: DUNS Number (With Edit) DNS: DUNS number (No Edit). DP4: DUNS + 4 Suffix. FIC: fiscal ID - company - Italy FII: fiscal ID - indiv - Italy GLN: global location number. IE: state registration number - Brazil. NIC: NIC number - France. NIF: fiscal ID number - Spain. SRN: SIREN number - France. SRT: SIRET number - France. TIN: tax identification number. W2: W2 identification number. Note. PeopleSoft recommends you inactivate the type fields that you are not using. This will assist in preventing the wrong selections from being made. |
ID Number |
Enter the ID number provided by the reporting entity for the vendor. Depending on the type of number that you select, different fields are available for entry. If you select a DUNS Number (With Edit) number, for example, you activate the SetID and DUNS Number fields. If you select DUNS Number (No Edit) number you activate the ID Number field and the Credit File check box. If you select DUNS + 4 Suffix number you activate the ID Number field only. In the ID Number field enter the 4 digit suffix. If you enter another type of number, you activate the ID Number field. |
Credit File |
Select this check box if a D & B credit file exists. This check box is only available if you select a type of DNS (DUNS number (No Edit). |
Enter duplicate invoice checking parameters in the Duplicate Invoice Settings collapsible region.
The options in the Duplicate Invoice Settings region are the same as those defined in the Payables Options component (BU_CTLB). In the Payables Options component, you define these options for the business units sharing a setID; here, you define them for the vendor.
See Defining Voucher Error-Handling Options.
(USA) Specifying Government Classifications
Enter government classifications required for reporting by some U.S. organizations in the Government Classifications collapsible region.
In the U.S., companies report information about the classification of vendors with whom they do business to the government; they are also sometimes required to report similar information to their customers. Vendors receive certain classifications of certification—for example, Small Business - Hispanic Woman Owned—from various government sources.
Note. You must define government sources and classifications on the Government Certifications - Sources page and the Government Certifications - Classifications page before you can select them at the vendor level.
EEO Certification Date (equal employment opportunity certification date) |
Enter the vendor's EEO certification date. |
HUB Zone (historically underutilized business zone) |
Select if the vendor qualifies for this classification. The HUBzone Empowerment Contracting program provides federal contracting opportunities for qualified small businesses located in distressed areas. Fostering the growth of these federal contractors as viable businesses, for the long term, helps to empower communities, create jobs, and attract private investment. HUB Zone qualifications can give vendors preferential treatment when procurement contracts are awarded. Governmental agencies have a goal of awarding contracts to HUB-Zone-qualified vendors based on certain percentages. Customers might use this field for reporting compliance in awarding business to HUB Zone businesses. |
Source |
Enter the vendor's certification source. Each vendor can have multiple sources, and each source can have more than one effective-dated record that captures the certification number, begin date, expiration date, and government classification of the vendor's government certifications. |
Cert Nbr (certificate number) |
Enter the number of the certificate that your vendor received from this source, verifying that the vendor is qualified for this government classification. |
Begin Dt (begin date) and Expire Dt (expiration date) |
Enter the start date and expiration date for the certificate. |
Gov Class (government classification) |
Enter the type of government classification for which your vendor qualifies. |
See (USA) Entering Vendor Government Certifications.
Std Industry Codes (Standard Industry Codes)
Enter standard industry classification (SIC) codes required for reporting by some governments in the Std Industry Codes collapsible region.
Depending on your organization's reporting requirements, you can apply SIC codes here for the vendor or on the Vendor Information - Location page for a vendor location. The information that you enter for the vendor location is informational only. The data is not used elsewhere in the system. The information that you enter for the vendor, however, is used for U.S. government compliance reporting. If you are not doing government reporting, you may choose to define these numbers at the vendor location only.
You can supply multiple types of industry codes for the same vendor. For example, a standard USA SIC code and a North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code can be defined for the same vendor. You can also supply multiple SIC codes for the same SIC type.
Note. The fields in the Std Industry Codes collapsible region support the U.S. Government reporting requirements.
SIC Type (standard industrial classification type) |
Select the appropriate type for the vendor. PeopleSoft provides you with the standard hierarchy of these codes from Australia, Canada, Germany, France, the U.K., and the U.S., and you can also add your own. Examples of SIC types that you might select include: AUS: Australia - New Zealand SIC code. CAN: Canadian NAICS codes. GER: German SIC codes. NAF: French SIC codes. SIC: U.S. SIC codes. UK: U.K. 92 SIC codes. USA: U.S. - NAICS codes. |
SIC Code |
In accordance with the SIC type that you select, the system provides an appropriate list of SIC codes. Select a code for the vendor. Based on the SIC information that you select, the system populates the Parent SIC Code field and the Description field. |
See Defining SIC Codes.
(USA) Additional Reporting Elements
Enter vendor information required for Federal Procurement Data Systems reporting in the Additional Reporting Elements collapsible region.
Sm Disadvantaged Business Prog (small disadvantaged business program) |
Select a small disadvantaged business program. A Small Disadvantage Business (SDB) program provides business development and federal contracting opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses that would not otherwise qualify for such programs. An SDB enables small businesses to compete in the federal contracting arena and helps expose them to a wider range of subcontracting opportunities that are typically available for large firms only. Programs of this nature are intended to help federal agencies achieve the government-wide goal of 5 percent SDB participation in prime contracting. |
Veteran-Owned Small Business |
Select a veteran-owned small business program. The veteran-owned small business program provides veteran-owned small businesses maximum practical opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts awarded by any federal agency. |
HUBZone Program (historically underutilized business zone program) |
Select a HUB Zone program. The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting program provides federal contracting opportunities for qualified small businesses located in distressed areas. |
Emerging Small Business |
Select if the vendor qualifies as an emerging small business. |
Size of Small Business |
If you selected the Emerging Small Business check box, select the applicable business size for this small business from the available options. |
Women-Owned Business |
Select if this vendor qualifies as a women-owned business. |
Access the VAT Registration Details page.
Country |
Select the country, or countries, with which this vendor is registered to do business. The country or countries must be defined on the VAT Country Definition page as part of VAT setup before you can select them on the VAT Registration Details page. |
VAT Registration ID |
Enter the vendor's VAT registration ID for the country. It is not necessary to enter a VAT registration ID, but if you do, the system validates it against the algorithm for the country and issues a warning message if the number that you enter is not in the valid format for this country. Note. To ensure that no duplicate VAT registration IDs are entered into the system, the system checks for duplicate VAT registration IDs. An invalid VAT registration ID warning message appears if you enter a duplicate ID for the same country. |
Home |
Select to designate a country as the home country. This field is for your information only. Vendors may also be registered to collect VAT in countries other than their home country. If this is the case, you must insert a row and enter the country code for each of these countries. |

If you select the wrong geocode for the vendor address, an error message is issued by the third-party application. Troubleshoot the error using the documentation provided by the third-party tax application provider. |
Note. If you are adding more than one current address for this vendor (for example, the vendor has multiple sites), click the add button (+) in the Vendor Address group box to add a new row. To update address information for the vendor, click the add button (+) in the Details group box to add a new row. Because vendor information is effective-dated, you can insert new rows to reflect changes in address before the change goes into effect, so that you don't forget to update this information later. To correct an erroneous address, enter the correct address in place of the incorrect one, and save your changes.
Payment/Withholding Alt Names
Use the Payment/Withholding Alt Names (payment and withholding alternate names) section to specify alternate names for the vendor that can be used for payment and withholding purposes. When the system generates payments for the location that uses this address, it uses the alternate name information on the payment forms. Likewise, if you specify an alternate withholding name, the system uses this name on withholding reports instead of the name that you specified on the Identifying Information page.
This function is useful if a vendor wants to conduct business under another name. For example, Alvarez Consulting may be the vendor, but may want to receive payments or report withholdings under the name of Jose Alvarez.

Note on Addresses and Effective Dating
The effective date of an address entered on the Vendor Information - Address page can have an impact on its availability for input on the Vendor Information - Payables Options page. Here are the factors that determine the availability or validity of an address:
The currently active row for a vendor location must have a currently active address.
The effective date of the address row need not be prior to the effective date of the vendor location, but it must be prior or equal to the system date.
If the vendor location row is future-dated, the address must be effective-dated such that it is active as of the effective date of the vendor location row.
If the vendor location row is a history (past-dated) row, the address must be effective-dated such that it is active at the effective date of the vendor location row.
The addressees in the address field prompt list on this page are not necessarily valid for the location, nor are they necessarily the only addresses valid for the location.
The prompt lists only currently active addresses. Therefore, if you are selecting addresses for history (past-dated) or future-dated rows, the valid address may not appear in the prompt and invalid addresses may appear. You can still enter the valid address even if it does not appear in the prompt.
Also, if you enter an address on the Vendor Information - Address page and do not save the Vendor Information component before proceeding to the Payables Options page, that address does not appear in the address prompt. If that address meets the criteria listed above, however, you can still enter it on the Payables Options page and successfully save the vendor.
You will see an error message if you do enter an invalid address for a vendor location for current and future-dated rows. History rows with an invalid address will generate a warning, but you will be able to save the vendor

Payment Control
Pay Group |
Specify a pay group for the vendor location. This enables you to assign vendors to a group and pay them all at once. You can set up different pay cycles for different groups of vendors. |
Delay Days |
To define delay days at the vendor location level, select Specify and then enter the number of delay days in the Discount or Net fields. If you enter delay days in the Discount field, the system adds delay days to the discount due date for the scheduled payment during pay cycle processing and uses the resulting date to evaluate whether or not to take the discount. If you enter delay days in the Net field, the system adds those days to the scheduled payment day. If you select Default, the delay days on the voucher will default from the Payables control hierarchy instead of the vendor location. Select Do Not Use to indicate that no delay days should apply to payments made to this vendor location. |
Hold Payment |
Select to have the system automatically place payments on hold. The system does not process the payments until they are taken off hold. Clear the check box to remove a hold on a vendor's payment. |
Complex Routing |
This option is for EFT payments only. Select the check box to tell the system to use the complex routing that you already set up on the Intermediary Bank Routings page. Clear the check box to tell the system not to use the complex routing, but the complex routing information that you specified (if any) is not affected by the selection that you make here. |
Always take discount |
Select to have the system take discounts even if the voucher is paid after the discount due date. |
Separate Payment |
Select to create separate payments for each of the vouchers for the vendor, even if the system processes the payments in the same pay cycle. |
Factoring |
Select to make the Remit To field in the Voucher component (VCHR_EXPRESS) not available for entry. The Remit To field in the Voucher component contains the remitting vendor defined previously on the Vendor Information - Location page, and you will not be able to change it if you select this option. For example, you might use this option if payments are to be routed automatically to a bank to which the vendor owes money. |
Apply Netting |
Select to utilize the PeopleSoft netting capabilities. When this check box is selected, scheduled payments have a Hold status, and the payments are available for the Netting Selection process that is run from PeopleSoft Treasury. |
Bank
To define bank and account information at the vendor location level, select Specify in the Bank Options field and then populate the fields in this group box. If you select Default, the bank and account information on the voucher will default from the Payables control hierarchy instead of the vendor location.

Do Not Use: Indicates that rounding should not be used for this vendor location. Specify: Select values for the vendor location for the fields in this group box. |
Rounding Position |
Indicate the position at which you want to round the draft amount down. For example, if you only want to create drafts that are even thousand dollar amounts, enter 4 to round at the fourth position (2, 000). |
Remaining Amount Action |
Specify how you want to handle the remaining amount (that is, the amount that is not paid on the draft when you use rounding). Options are: Do Not Issue Draft: The draft is issued, but the remainder is not paid. Alternate Pay Mthd (alternate pay method): Activates the Payment Method field, where you can indicate the format that you want to use to pay the remainder. |
Payment Method |
The system issues the remaining amount on the voucher by using the method that you enter here. Options are:
|
Draft Optimize |
This field is used for Japanese stamp tax. Select from these options: Use Pay Cycle Default: Draft optimization options for a draft are populated from the pay cycle section criteria. Do Not Use: Indicates that draft optimization should not be used for this vendor location. Specify: Select values for the vendor location for the fields in this group box. |

PeopleSoft delivers some payment methods with the system, but you can also add your own. Some delivered methods are:
|
Layout Option |
Options include:
|
Layout |
Select an applicable layout code. Layout codes indicate whether the system settles them through either the Pay Cycle Manager or Financial Gateway functionality. The system displays codes depending on the bank code, bank account, and payment method defined on the Payments page. When you click Save, the system validates layout codes against those defined at the bank account level. When you select non electronic payment methods (for example, Check), the system disables this field. Note. For federal payments and single payment vouchers, you must select layouts that the system settles through Pay Cycle Manager. These payments cannot be settled through the Financial Gateway functionality. |
Handling Options |
To define payment handling at the vendor location level, select Specify, and then populate the handling field. Select a payment handling code (such as high dollar payment or internal distribution) by selecting from the options that are stored in the Payment Handling Codes table. You can associate payment handling codes with a sort sequence for check printing. |
Reschedule ID |
Enter the reschedule ID that you apply to this vendor location. Entering an ID enables the vendor location to be processed by split multiple payment terms, which processes vouchers of only those vendor locations with an ID in this field. Note. If you select the Withholding option, split multiple payment terms do not process vouchers of the vendor, even if split condition options are enabled. |
Document Sequencing Type
Doc Type (document type) |
Select Specify to override the document sequencing options that default through the control hierarchy and select new ones at the vendor location level. The document type that you select appears by default on any vouchers for this vendor location. |
See Processing Document Sequencing in Payables.
Holiday Processing Options
Holiday Processing |
To establish holiday processing options at the vendor location level, select Specify, and then populate the fields in this group box. |

If payment is due either before or after the holiday, indicate the number of days before or after in this field. |
Allow due date in next month |
If the payment is due after the holiday, select the check box to identify whether it is acceptable to pay in the next month. If you select Due After Holiday, but you do not allow the due date to be in the next month, the system calculates a due date before the holiday, when necessary—for example, if the original due date is December 31 and you don't want the payment to be made in the next calendar year. |
Late Charges

Select Default to accept the default matching option already established in the control hierarchy, or select Specified to override these options and select new ones at the vendor location level. |
Matching |
Specify the match control that you want the system to use during the Matching Application Engine process (AP_MATCH). This field is available for entry only if you select Specified in the Matching Option field. You can override the match control on the purchase order or voucher levels. |
Receipt Only Match |
Select to enable a receipt to be entered for a vendor without a PO. Receipt-only matching approves vouchers for payment by comparing vouchers to receipts. This option is available only if you have selected the Matching option. |
Match Delay Days |
Select Default to accept the default number of match delays days already established in the control hierarchy, or select Specified to override these days and enter new ones at the vendor location level. Note. Match delay days are only applicable to EDI and XML invoices. The system adds the match delay days to the entry date to determine the match due date. The Matching process selects only the vouchers that are ready to be matched as of that date. |
See Running the Matching Process.
ERS Invoice Date
Allow ERS (allow Evaluated Receipt Settlement) |
Select to activate ERS for this vendor location. You must select the Matching check box to activate the Allow ERS check box.
Note. ERS is processed through the Voucher Build Application Engine process (AP_VCHRBLD) and Voucher component, not during the Matching process. |
ERS Invoice Dt (Evaluated Receipt Settlement invoice date) |
Select an option to determines how the invoice date is generated for an ERS voucher. Options include: Default: This value appears by default from the control hierarchy. Frt Trms (freight terms): The system uses freight terms entered on a receipt, or those appearing by default from a PO, to determine the ERS invoice date.

Pre-Notification
Prenotification Required |
Select to send a test transaction to the bank for this vendor. The system includes a prenote for this vendor location in the next pay cycle that includes an EFT payment for this vendor location's default bank account. With the prenotification option selected, you cannot generate an actual EFT payment for this vendor location until it is marked as Confirmed. |
Confirm |
Click to manually confirm a vendor location for EFT payment and override any autoconfirmation established in the control hierarchy. |
Unconfirm |
If you receive a problem report from your bank saying that the prenote failed, click the Unconfirm button, correct the problem, and then generate another prenote. |
To confirm the vendor location:
Confirm a vendor for EFT payment by using autoconfirmation.
In the EFT Pre-Note Auto Confirmation group box on the Vendor Set Control page, you can specify a number of days to wait (wait days) before the vendor becomes eligible for an EFT payment. When that number of days passes, the system automatically confirms a vendor for EFT payment.
Confirm a vendor for EFT payment manually:
Select the Prenotification Required check box. This sets the Status field to New, and activates the Confirm and Unconfirm buttons.
Click the Confirm button to override the autoconfirmation waiting period.
Click the Unconfirm button for the vendor location to change the prenote status to New and clear the prenote date.
Typically, you create a prenote for a vendor location only once. Subsequent pay cycle runs won't create another prenote for the vendor unless you click the Unconfirm button.
Once the prenote is created, during the next pay cycle that includes EFT payments for the vendor's bank, the system changes the prenote status to Pending, and populates the prenote Date field with the date on which the prenote was created.
See Defining Vendor Control Parameters.

Prenote: This is a test run to verify that all EFT information is correct before the system sends out an actual payment and advice. Pymt Only: Only the payment is sent. |
Domestic Costs |
Depending on the country in which an EFT takes place, there may be costs involved in carrying out such transactions. Indicate who pays the processing costs of the EFT transfer. Select from these options: Payee Acct: The vendor's account is assessed for the charges. Payr/Payee: Costs are shared equally between the payer and the vendor. This selection applies only to domestic costs. Pyr D Acct: Costs are assessed to the payer's domestic account. Payr F Acct: Costs are assessed to the payer's foreign account. |
Correspondent's Costs |
If you are using an intermediary bank for the transfer, indicate who is handling these processing costs. Select from these options: Payee Acct: The vendor's account is assessed for the charges. Pyr D Acct: Costs are assessed to the payer's domestic account. Payr F Acct: Costs are assessed to the payer's foreign account. |

Bank Charge Options
The bank transfer charge process calculates the charge amount based on the setup information entered here. Use these fields to define the person to whom the bank transfer charge amount is charged.
Transfer Cost Code |
Select from these options: Payer: The bank transfer charge process is not activated. The bank transfer charge is not considered during payment processing, and no accounting entry for the bank transfer charge is generated. Payee: Determine whether the bank transfer charges are calculated by using the Classified Charge Amount table, or a user-specified amount by selecting Table or User in the Bank Charge Source field. |
Bank Charge source |
Select from these options: Table: The system looks for the amount of charge defined in the table based on the payment condition, and deducts that amount from the payment. The system also creates an accounting entry for this charge at the time of payment posting. User: The system deducts the amount entered in the Amount field. |
Warning! When the bank charge source is User, the bank transfer charge setting is not mandatory because the payment process does not look at the Bank Transfer Charge table. It does, however, use the table to output the difference between the assumable charge calculated from the table and the actual deducted amount at the payment. Thus, for reporting purposes, the Bank Transfer Charge table must exist even though the bank charge source is User; otherwise, the assumable charge amount appears as 0.

Use the HIPAA Information collapsible region on the Vendor Information - Payables Options page to enter information required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
Note. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a set of regulations from the United States Department
of Health and Human Services. One of HIPAA's primary concerns is to restrict the use of individually identifiable health information
to protect the privacy of healthcare consumers. In addition to the privacy rules, HIPAA includes regulations that establish
national standards for the format and structure of electronic communications between covered entities.
The system generates HIPAA payments for only two transaction handling codes: Payment Only, and Payment + Advice.
HIPAA entails communication protocol and standards for several business documents. PeopleSoft Payables supports EDI Format
820 (OUTBOUND), specifically designed for HIPAA required fields and values. In order to fully employ HIPAA functionality,
you must use a third-party vendor to process the PeopleSoft generated file and transform it to the HIPAA 820 EDI format.
The HIPAA information you define at the vendor location level appears by default on vouchers for the vendor location. You can override this information for a voucher on the HIPAA page in the Voucher component. The system performs validation during online voucher entry and as part of the Voucher Build process which checks for HIPAA payment designation and marks such vouchers as Payment Separate.

Access the Intermediary Bank Routings page.
Note. Some payables departments use intermediary bank routing, or complex routing, to establish specific coded instructions with their banks to send payments to other banks to be processed. For example, you may want vendors in a particular country to be paid by a banking center that has special expertise or connections with banks in that country. In this case, the code instructs the bank that receives your EFT file to send payment instructions to the other bank, which then makes the actual funds transfer.
Seq (sequence) |
Specify the routing's sequence. The sequence numbers indicate the relative order in which the funds are routed through the intermediary banks. |
Routing |
Select whether the routing is through the bank or the DFI ID. The option that you select here determines which subsequent fields require data. If you select Bank, you must enter a bank and account. If you select DFI ID, you must supply the DFI ID. |

The data that appears by default in these group boxes is passed from the Vendor Information - Address and Vendor Information - Location pages. You can select a different address in the Ordering, Returning, and Ship From group boxes or a different vendor location in the Pricing group box.
If you implement a third-party tax application such as Taxware or Vertex, the ordering and ship from addresses are linked to the third-party application by the geocode selected on the Vendor Information - Address page. These locations are used by tax applications as follows:
Ordering address: used by PeopleSoft, Taxware, and Vertex.
Ship from address: used by Taxware and Vertex only.
Ship to address: used by PeopleSoft, Taxware, and Vertex.
Taxware uses these addresses plus the point of order origin address (set up on the Payables Definition - Tax Options page) to determine tax applicability. Vertex uses only the three addresses above to determine tax applicability.

You must set up at least one single payment vendor, which is used as the default master vendor record for single payment vouchers. The single payment vendor can include such general information as tax options, payment method, payment terms, and bank account defaults. You add the remaining vendor-identifying information, such as vendor name and address, directly on the voucher. You can also override the single payment vendor defaults on the voucher.
Important! PeopleSoft recommends that you define a single payment vendor for each tax environment you work in, in situations where vendor tax information is used to calculate tax on transactions.
To access the Single Payment Vendor page, select a persistence of Single Payment Vendor when you add a vendor.
Note. You cannot change the persistence of a single payment vendor.

This section discusses how to approve vendors.
You must determine whether users who are authorized to enter vendors have approval privileges as well. You specify whether a particular user has the authority to approve vendors on the User Preferences - Procurement - Vendor Processing Authority page. This enables you to have decentralized vendor entry without compromising security and control.
The system automatically approves vendors that are entered by users who are authorized both to enter and to approve vendors. However, a supervising user must approve vendors that are entered by users who are not authorized to approve vendors.
Users with voucher approval authority can review and approve unapproved vendors in correction mode on the Vendor Approval - Identifying Information page. The search record for this page retrieves only those vendors that have not yet been approved, so the procurement supervisor can review and approve each vendor record. To approve a vendor, enter Approved in the Status field and save the page.
The fields on the pages in the Vendor Approval component are the same as the fields in the Vendor Information component.
Note. Vouchers cannot be entered for unapproved vendors.

This section provides an overview of vendor inactivation and discusses how to run the Inactivate Vendors application engine process (AP_VNDSTATUS).
If you cease to use a vendor—whether for poor service, bad goods, better options, or inactivity, for example—you may want to inactivate the vendor to ensure that your users do not enter new vouchers for it. Even after you inactivate a vendor, PeopleSoft Payables still posts any outstanding vouchers for the vendor. However, the system does not pay the vendor. Pay cycle does not pick up the payment and you cannot create an express check for the payment.
Note. In the PeopleSoft Purchasing system, if a vendor is rendered inactive before POs for that vendor are approved, the system does not process those unapproved POs.
There are three ways to deactivate a vendor:
On the Identifying Information page in the Vendor Information component, set the vendor status to Inactive.
Only user IDs with authorization can deactivate vendors on the Identifying Information page. Enable authority to deactivate vendors on the User Preferences - Procurement - Vendor Processing Authority page.
When you add a vendor, set the vendor's persistence to One-time.
After you enter one voucher for the vendor, the status of the vendor automatically changes to inactive.
Run the Inactivate Vendors process.
The Inactivate Vendors process inactivates any vendors that have had no activity since a date you specify. The process does not inactivate vendors that have vouchers remaining in the system with a payment status of Not Scheduled.

This section provides an overview of vendor inquiries and discusses how to:
Use vendor search pages from PeopleSoft Payables and Purchasing transaction components.
View detailed vendor search results.
Search for and review vendors using the Review Vendors page.
Review duplicate vendors.
PeopleSoft provides a number of pages that enable you to search for and view details about vendors, along with reports that do the same. These inquiries and reports can be divided into three categories:
Those that provide information about the vendors themselves.
Examples include the Review Vendors page, which provides a wide variety of search fields for locating vendors and enables you to view everything from a vendor's remitting address to an audit trail of who last modified the vendor information in the database and when.
Those that provide withholding-related information about vendors.
Those that provide information about payments or vouchers for vendors.
Examples include the Vendor Aging inquiry page, where you can review payments due to a vendor by aging bucket, and the Schedule Payment Inquiry page, where you can view scheduled payments for a vendor or group of vendors.
The first category is documented in this chapter. The second and third are documented in the PeopleSoft Payables PeopleBook.
See Running Voucher and Payment Posting.
See Processing Withholding in Payables.
There is also another category of vendor inquiry page: the vendor search pages available from several transaction entry pages in PeopleSoft Payables and PeopleSoft Purchasing. Whenever you need to reference a vendor on a voucher, contract, requisition, PO, or receiver, you can access these pages and use their advanced vendor search capabilities to quickly find the vendor that you need. A convenient transfer link takes you from the transaction page to the vendor search page, so that you can find the vendor that you are looking for and then return to the origination page with the information automatically copied.
These vendor search pages provide search capabilities based on partial long and short name recognition, city, state, country, postal, type, and vendor class. After the system returns a list of vendors that match your specifications, you can either copy the details back to the original page or access a detail page to view specifics on each vendor retrieved by your search.

Enter the search criteria that you want to use. To start a search for a particular vendor, enter what you know about it. The more you fields you enter, the narrower your search results. Enter a partial value, such as a partial name, and the system retrieves all vendors with that partial value for the field. For example, enter bay in the name field and the system retrieves all vendors whose name contains the word bay, anywhere in the name.
Note. When you use Vendor Search on an Informix database, your searches are case-sensitive. For example, when you search for a vendor with the name MacIntosh, you must enter an uppercase M and I when you enter the name.

Important! If you use the Contains command when entering a value for searching, you must add a wildcard symbol, %, in front of the value you are using to search to retrieve all vendors that contain that value somewhere in that field. For example, if you want to retrieve all vendors whose name includes the word bay, select Contains and enter %bay in the Name field. Without the wildcard prefix, only vendor names beginning with bay will be retrieved.
The fields on this page can also be found on in the Vendor Information component and are fully described in the documentation of that component.

Select to build the search so that at least one of the duplicate vendors had a voucher paid within the specified date range.
Note. This option broadens your search, as it produces results for all vendors with duplicate information, as long as one of the vendors had a voucher paid within the specified date range. |
All vendors have vouchers paid |
Select to build the search so that all of the duplicate vendors had a voucher paid within the specified date range. Note. This option limits your search, as it produces results only for vendors that had vouchers paid within the specified date range. |
From Date |
Enter the start date for the range of time within which a voucher has been paid for the vendors. |
Thru Date |
Enter the end date for the range of time within which a voucher has been paid for the vendors. The default value for this field is the current system date. |
In the example, the user is searching for vendors in the SHARE setID that have the same TIN. In addition, the user has built the search so that at least one of the vendors with the same TIN in the SHARE setID has a voucher that was paid on or after September 25, 2002, but no later than September 25, 2003.

This section provides an overview of California EDD reporting, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
Enter California EDD control information.
Enter information for California EDD vendors.
Run the California EDD report.
Companies that do business in the state of California in the U.S. must file every 20 days with the California EDD for any contract of more than 600.00 USD that they enter into with an independent contractor. This filing is required only once per contractor per year. For example, if you enter into an 800.00 USD contract with a vendor in January, and you report it within 20 days, then you can enter into as many contracts for as much as you want with that vendor, without filing again during that year.
There are two forms that you must use to report:
Transmittal for Independent Contractor (IC) Reporting.
Report of Independent Contractor(s).
Transmittal Form
The transmittal form requires information about the transmitter company and any of its subcompanies (including itself) for which it is reporting. The companies for which a transmitting company is reporting are referred to as both reporting companies and subcompanies. One company can be made up of any number of subcompanies for which it can report. The transmitting company and all subcompanies must have valid Federal Employer Identification numbers (FEINs).
Note. In some instances (if there are no subcompanies), the transmitting company may be the only subcompany, or reporting company. If there are multiple subcompanies, then the Transmitter check box must be selected for the address that is to be used on the transmittal form. The Transmitter check box must be selected for only one subcompany.
Report of Independent Contractor(s)
The California EDD also requires you to report information about the independent contractors themselves.
Associated with each subcompany are the independent contractors (vendors) with which the company has contracted to do more than 600.00 USD worth of business. Each vendor must be a 1099 vendor and must have a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN). A vendor can be reported by more than one subcompany. If you set up the vendor under more than one reporting company, the vendor is included in the transmittal for each company.
PeopleSoft Payables tracks when the file reporting this vendor was generated. When the vendor information is sent for that reporting company, the vendor record is marked as processed.
Submitting the Reports
Every 20 days, you must generate a file to send to the California EDD. This file contains a record for each subcompany, a record for each vendor being reported by that subcompany, and a total record for that subcompany. You must transfer this file to some form of magnetic media (for example, diskette) and send it, along with a transmittal form, to the California EDD.
PeopleSoft Payables enables you to track the file names and dates of the files that you create for the California EDD.
To create files for the California EDD for independent contractors:
Enter the transmitting companies and their associated reporting companies (subcompanies) on the CAEDD Control page.
Enter the vendors that are associated with one of the reporting companies on the CAEDD IC Vendor page.
Generate the transmission file, using the Run CAEDD IC Rptg page.
Note. Before you can create these reports, be sure that the transmitting company and each subcompany has a valid FEIN and that each vendor that you are going to report as an independent contractor is set up as a 1099 vendor with a valid TIN.
