Vendors Overview
Vendors may be added to the Juris system to allow for easy payment of invoices that are received by the firm. Vendors are entered for both A/P and Trust Vouchers.
The size and type of code used for vendors can be defined by the user
in Define
Fields. When
defined as numeric
,
Vendor Numbers will have leading zeros to complete the size of the field,
when necessary. For
example, if the vendor code field is defined to have 5 characters and
the code entered is 15, that code will be shown as 00015.
Firm Vendor
One Vendor, representing the ‘Firm’ is maintained automatically by the system for use with Trust transactions. The Firm vendor may not be deleted. The Vendor Code for this Vendor is ‘FIRM’ if the Vendor field has been defined as alphanumeric or ‘1’ if the Vendor field has been defined as numeric (see Define Fields for details).
Temporary Vendors
Temporary Vendors may be used to enter a payment on-the-fly for a vendor that is not already in the Vendor table. Both Vouchers and Quick Checks may be entered for Temporary Vendors, but TemporaryVendors are not individually set up and maintained in the Vendor table as separate entities. Instead, a substitute called the Master Temporary Vendor has been added to the system that is used for these on-the-fly transactions.
Caution: 1099's cannot be generated for temporary vendors, so the Temporary Vendor should not be used for any vendor requiring a 1099.
