How do I issue a cheque for a one-time purchase
Last Updated 9 years ago
The following has been taken from the Accounts Payable User Manual at http://samco.com/support/user-manuals/power-accoun...
Payables can be entered for "temporary" vendors, so that one-time vendors can be used without having to maintain Vendor File records for them.
Temporary vendors
To designate a vendor as "temporary", enter an asterisk (*)as the first character of the vendor number. This provides a means to mark those vendors from whom you purchase only once or twice, or with whom you do business for only a short period of time.
One advantage of distinguishing temporary vendors from longer standing ones is that temporary vendors can be purged as a group from the Vendor File.
