A/P vendor types control how the G/L balance sheet is posted for the credit. Each
vendor in the Vendor Master File is assigned an A/P vendor type code (1-9)
representing different types of vendors. For example, A/P Trade, A/P Affiliated
Co., A/P Other. Then the A/P vendor type will determine which liability account
to post as transactions are updated. Most often when starting up the A/P system,
only one vendor type is used. All vendors are assigned vendor type 1. For this
example, the standard chart of accounts is used and all vendor types use the same
G/L account. Change if needed.
