In SmartList/ Purchasing/ Vendors, I see a "Parent Vendor ID" field. Can someone please tell me where to setup this field on the vendor record? None of my vendors have this field populated, per Smartlist.
Becky, you are so correct. When I was writing my response I kept typing customer and then forcing myself to change to vendor. I knew something did not feel right in the response - that is what the community is for - correct in the idea - wrong module.
Sorry about the confusion.
Hello Jpeacock,
Thank you for using Community Forums. My name is Becky and I will assist you.
There are no National Accounts for vendors the way there are for customers. I believe this is a field that is currently not used. It may be functionality planned for the future but is not active now.

This is a feature of the National Account function and requires some time and consideration on how you want it configured.
Long and short is that you have a group of Vendors that you buy from, but from whom you receive a consolidated invoice for. In this case you create individual invoices for each purchase, but they consolidate and pay from one check. That is the Parent / Child relationship and that is when and where the Parent ID is assigned.
Don't just rush out and do this, be sure to (1) consider all aspects of this issue and (2) make sure you have a back or better a fully independent testing database.
