Vendor Service Codes can be used to define the type of service provided by a particular vendor. This frame allows you to create and maintain list of these codes that can be assigned to vendors on Vendor Main, Preferred Vendors, and for use on Service Orders as well as the Direct Invoice frames.
To create a new vendor service code, enter a new code in the blank Code field. This field has a limit of ten characters. Enter a Description for the service code. This field has a limit of 30 characters.
For example, TOW – Towing, TIRE – Tire Repairs.
Enter a Job Reason for use with direct invoicing. Only jobs that have the Direct Invoicing flag selected on the Job Reasons frame will be available for use. If System Flag 5330 is set to Y, the job reason will be required.
Enter a job Code and Indirect Account if applicable.
After all information has been entered, select the SAVE button at the top of the frame. The new service code is available for use.
To modify an existing code, select the Code you want to change and enter new information. Select SAVE to update the record.
After a code has been created and saved, the Code field is read-only. You will not be able to modify the field.
If you want to disable a service Code, select the Disabled checkbox in the row of the code you want to disable. Select SAVE to disable the code.
You can delete a service code provided it is not in use by any other tables in the system. If the code is in use, you will not be able to delete it from the list.
To delete a code that is not in use, select the row of the Code you want to delete to make it active. Select the DELETE button. The selected row will turn red. Select the SAVE button to delete the service code and remove it from the system.
