Entering information about the supplier

Purchases Overview > Entering purchases > Entering information about the supplier

Regardless of the type of purchase you're creating, you should pay special attention to the top section of the Purchases window. The information you enter here will determine several characteristics of the purchase, including the credit terms assigned to your company by the supplier and the identification numbers assigned to the transaction.

If you are conducting business with a new supplier who doesn't exist in your Card File yet, you can add a new supplier record using the Easy-Add feature. Then you can quickly get back to the business of creating the purchase.

You can make any changes to the supplier's credit terms that affect only the transaction you're currently entering. The credit terms that appear automatically were set up using either the Easy Setup Assistant when you set up your company, the Credit Terms window that's opened from the Preferences window, or the Supplier Terms Information section that can be found on the Selling Details tab of the Card Information window.

If you're using MYOB Accounting Plus's Multicurrency feature and you selected a supplier who's been assigned a foreign currency in the Card Information window, that currency is automatically assigned to the transaction, and it can't be changed. The exchange rate for the foreign currency, however, can be changed.
