Set Up Supplier Records
Business relations for suppliers should have already been set up.
The credit term code created in Credit Terms Maintenance functions and entered here becomes the default on purchase orders and invoices for this supplier.
Tax ID information prints on tax reports and other selected documents, such as orders and invoices, where it is required by law.
• In some countries, you can use the same tax IDs for all company locations in the country, state, or province
• In others, you must set up a separate address record so that you can specify a separate tax ID for each address and site
Example: In Canada, all ship-to addresses for the same customer use the same tax ID, but in Brazil, each ship-to address has a separate tax ID.
