Accounts Payable Infrequent F/Ms Overview
File maintenance programs enable you to enter, change and delete data. The programs on the Infrequent File Maintenances menu are only used once during installation and set up.
In some instances, FACTS updates information in the infrequent file maintenances during live processing. An example is the Nonstatic Control F/M, which keeps track of the Accounts Payable period and all the register trace numbers.
Accounts Payable Infrequent F/Ms menu contains the following programs
- Vendor Class F/M (APF950), which is used to create and maintain vendor class records that are used to categorize the different types of vendors.
- Terms Code F/M (APF955), which is used to create and maintain terms codes, which are assigned throughout the system to indicate payment type.
