AP110 - Mass Vendor Update

Run AP110 (Mass Vendor Update) to update codes assigned to all or a range of
vendors within a vendor group. The program lets you update vendor priority,
prenotification status, and any of the codes listed on this form with a new
code without having to change each vendor record individually in AP10
(Vendor). If you select Yes in the Update Locations field, the program updates
vendors and associated alternate vendor locations, if applicable.

Use the Invoice folder to define information used to update invoice processing
codes. Use the Payment folder to define information used to update payment
processing codes. Use the Distribution folder to define information used to
update default invoice distribution codes and activities. Use the Match folder
to define information used to update matching options.

For each code, you can

* update vendors assigned a specific code with a new code by completing the
Before and After fields,

* update vendors with a new code regardless of the old code assigned by
leaving the Before field blank and completing the After field, or

* clear a code field for vendors assigned a specific code by completing the
Before field and leaving the After field blank.

If you clear a code field and the vendor class has a default code assigned,
the code assigned to the vendor class defaults on the updated vendor record.

Say, for example, you change your standard payment terms from 30 days to 45
days. You define a new terms code, called "P45," in the Lawson Terms system.
Most of the vendors in your vendor group have the old "P30" terms code
assigned. The vendor update program lets you assign the new "P45" terms code
to all vendors and locations that have the old "P30" terms code assigned.
