Accounts Payable - Maintain Vendors - Business Partner Address - Tab

Pgm: BPVENFM – Maintain Vendors; standard Treeview path: Accounts Payable > Setup > Maintain Vendors – Business Partner Address tab

This tab is used to create and display address records for the vendor. Address records are used to populate address fields that provide a list of addresses from which to choose. These addresses are in addition to the address on the Vendors tab, which is not stored in an address record. The address on the Vendors tab may be for the vendor’s controlling parent company, and the addresses on the Business Partner Address tab may be for subsidiaries with which business is directly done. The following are differences between addresses on this tab and the address on the Vendors tab:

  1. Address on the Vendors tab goes on checks, unless an Address record is specified by the Alt. Add. field on the Vendors tab.

  2. Address on the Vendors tab is stored in a vendor record, while addresses on the Business Partner Address tab are stored in address records. Address records are available for choosing in fields that provide a list of addresses, such as the Alt. Add. field on the Vendors tab, the Address Code field on this tab, the Address field on the Voucher Detail tab of the Enter Vouchers screen, and the Address Code field on a Contact record’s Address tab.

  3. Multiple Address records may be added through this tab (only one is displayed at a time, however).

  4. Addresses on this tab can be specific to a purpose, using the following provided checkboxes: “Order From”, “Remit To”, “Ship To”, and “Bill To”.

The following are details about the fields on this tab, other than the standard address and contact information fields:

Address Code, Name

The first field is a unique code to identify this address record. This code can then be used to select this address for a contact (Address Code field on Contact’s Address tab).

The second field is a description for this address record.

The company, under your corporation, for which the displayed address is relevant.

This does not apply to the Enter Manual Check screen, where the remittance address must be specified on the 2nd Party tab.

Ship To, Bill To – Checkbox

Check these boxes if items are shipped or billed to this address.
