TireMaster Corporate

   

In TireMaster Corporate, employees at all sites can add vendors and update vendor settings (such as address, credit limit, and payment terms). Any changes that are made by a site are then sent to all other sites. Although all sites have the ability to create vendor records, ASA recommends that you set them up at the corporate site because only the corporate site can apply payments to vendor charges. You can define which employees are allowed to update vendor settings by completing permission assignments at the corporate site.

Users at the corporate can also delete vendors who have no history. System administrators a the corporate site, can set the controls that define the default bank account and default number of payment terms for each store. Default discount and payment due dates are the same for all sites.

All sites can create vendor charges. However, a store can create and view only the vendor charges created at that store. Users at the corporate site can create regular vendor charges for all sites. Vendor charges created at the corporate site can be viewed only at the corporate site. Similarly, when a purchase order charge is created at the corporate site, only the corporate site can see that charge.

Vendor payments can be made at the corporate site only. Vendor payments can be applied to charges generated by multiple locations.

Example: If an employee at the corporate site creates a $500 payment for Napa Auto Parts, that check can be applied to a $300 charge at Store A and a $200 charge at Store B.

Although stores cannot create vendor checks, they can suggest which invoices to pay by marking charges in the vendor’s open item ledger. When generating checks, employees at the corporate can either follow or override a store’s suggestions.

All locations can create AP easy checks. An employee at a store can create AP easy checks for that store only. However, users at the corporate site can create AP easy checks for all sites. The corporate site can also offset a single easy check to the different stores’ general ledger accounts.

Reconciliation codes can be set up at the corporate site only, and only employees at the corporate site can process vendor credits manually for national account, government support, and adjustment sales. If you’re using an integrated application to process vendor credits electronically, refer to the documentation for that product for information about processing vendor credits.
