                              Vendor Class

The Vendor Class file contains all vendor class records for a vendor group. A
vendor class is a subgroup of vendors that share common payment or processing
characteristics, such as office supply vendors or employees.

The vendor class "ONE" is automatically created in this file when you define
a vendor group. The system assigns this vendor class to one-time vendors that
are defined during invoice entry.
