Maintaining Customer Master Data

To offer vendor operation financing to your customers, you first establish a vendor operation contract with them. By signing this contract, the customer authorizes you to negotiate conditions with the banks to cover their financing needs.

You need to store the related contract information in the customer's master data, and the Vendor Operation report then searches the banks entered there. A contract agreement can exist with different banks for the same time period, as well as for varying periods.

Enter the following information on the Payment transactions tab:

Field	Entry
Ctry (Bank country key)	Country of the bank (most likely BR)
Bank key	Key for the bank, as it appears in the Customizing activity, Maintain Bank Interest Rates for Vendor Operation (Brazil)
Bank account	Vendor contract number
Acct holder (Account holder name)	Validity dates for the contract Enter the start and end dates, separated by a space only, for example: 01/01/200X 12/31/200X
Bk.typ. (Partner bank type)	Vendor bank information (you) – Enter a 4-character code that contains the following information: First two should be letters (such as VN), and must correspond to the value entered in the ID Vendor Op. field in the Vendor Operation report (its default value is set to VN). – Last two should be sequential numbers (such as 00, 01, 02), and they cannot be repeated within the same master record
Reference details	Financing period agreed upon in the contract between the bank and your customer (for example, enter 90 for 90 days net period)

The customer's master record could look like this:
