Set up office vendor number fields

Office vendor numbers fields are useful for including additional identifying information about your vendors.
There are 4 parts to setting up vendor numbers in Tracker:
  1. Create and name the office vendor number fields.
  2. Configure the AP routes to require numbers on every invoice in that route.
  3. Add values to the vendor number fields for each of your vendors.
  4. Set up the Invoice Spreadsheet to include these vendor fields on each invoice.
You may need multiple office vendor numbers fields if you need confirmation and other data (such as a vendor's ZIP Code). To do this, Tracker lets you create unlimited office vendor number fields.
