Vendor Types

This help topic is applicable to the following TireMaster applications:

Vendor types are used to classify vendors. Vendor types are set up and managed on the same screen as customer types. For more information, see Customer Type Edit Screen.

Vendor types are used only in TireMaster Plus and TireMaster Corporate. If you're running TireMaster Point of Sale, disregard the following information.

TireMaster comes with several vendor types ready for you to use as is. However, you might want to create your own vendor types for reporting purposes or for tracking sales differently.

Note: For ease of use, use only letters or numbers.
4. In the AP or AR field, type AP.
5. Type a description for the vendor type.
6. Assign GL accounts to the vendor type. To assign an account, click the account field, press , and select an account from the list that appears.
