Before accounts payable can be used, you need to enter key details about your suppliers. You can add details of new suppliers, or change the information about existing ones, at any time.
Before you start you will need to gather as much information about the supplier as possible, for example, address, telephone and fax number, tax code and contacts. You do not have to enter every field of information when you create the supplier file; some information can be added at a later date, but the more you have to start with the easier it will be to maintain the supplier file.
New suppliers are initially set up as companies in the Coins ERP+ Central Repository (see the documentation on Adding a New Company for details) and then they can be set up as suppliers in accounts payable, via suppliers using the methods described in this section.
Note: Accounts payable can be run independently of the Central Repository if required. Although this will allow you to create a new supplier directly through suppliers, it will however, prevent the processing and sharing of data between other companies and ledgers within Coins ERP+.
To avoid any confusion, this section is documented assuming that all ledgers in your Coins ERP+ system are using the Central Repository. This is the method preferred and recommended by The Access Group.
