Adding, Modifying, or Deleting a Vendor Group

You can change most of the information in a vendor group record, with the following restrictions:

You cannot change the vendor group code.
In a multicurrency ledger, you cannot change the account set to one that uses a different currency.
You can edit vendor group statistics only if the Allow Edit Of Statistics option is selected on the A/P Options screen. For more information, see A/P Options Screen.

Most changes you make to a vendor group affect only the vendor records you add to the group after making the changes. The only exception is if you set the status of the group to Inactive. If you assign Inactive status to the group, you cannot:

Add new vendors to the group.
Change any of the vendor records assigned to the group (except to change their vendor group).

Optional Fields

You can use the A/P Optional Fields screen to define vendor optional fields, marking for automatic insertion the ones you want to use as defaults when you add new vendor group records. For more information, see A/P Optional Fields Screen.
