Vendor Defaults

Sage 50 allows you to set up default (common) information for vendors. Use this feature as a template or model and build all your vendor records on it. Enter basic setup information that applies to most of your vendors and purchase transactions in the Vendor Defaults window. Then, when you set up new vendors and enter transactions, the default information is automatically included. This can save a great deal of time during data entry.

Default information for vendors includes:

• Standard vendor payment terms
• General Ledger accounts for purchases and discounts
• Aging information for invoices due
• Custom field labels
• 1099 settings, which establish how 1099 payments will be asigned to each of the General Ledger accounts in a company's chart of accounts
• Payment methods

Most of this information is set up for you during New Company Setup. However, you can change these defaults at any time.
