Depending on what type of data you keep about your vendors, you can adapt the screens for entering and maintaining vendor master records to meet the requirements at your company.

There are four types of field status:

• Field is ready for input (optional field)
• Field must be filled (required field)
• Field is displayed only (display field)
• Field is hidden

The account group determines the status of the fields in a vendor master record. You have to specify an account group when creating a master record.

When you enter a vendor master record, you must makes an entry in some of the fields. These are indicated by a question mark (?). You can only continue onto the next entry screen after you have made an entry in these fields.
