SECTION 2.1.1 - ADD A NEW
CREDITOR
USAGE: To add a new Creditor to the Creditor master-file.
DISCUSSION: When you start this function, the computer will
initially ask for a Creditor code. Insert a code and press <Enter>. The Creditor code structure is defined in SECTION 2.
To return to the CREDITOR MAINTENANCE MENU, press <ESC>.
Once HiFinance has accepted the code you will be
presented with a screen full of all the fields you can enter information into.
These fields are fully described in SECTION 2. Depending on your installation, not all fields
fit on one page. In this case, when you complete the last field on the first
page, page two will automatically be displayed for you to fill in, and so on.
Where required, enter a value into each field that
is surrounded by brackets. To move to the next field, press <Enter>. Complete your entry by pressing <F10>. If HiFinance has found no inconsistencies in your
entries, you will be asked to confirm and the information will then be saved to
disk.
If at any time you wish to abort the entry sequence,
press <ESC>. You will be asked to
confirm your request. If you abort the entry, all current changes will be
cancelled and the account will not be added to the Creditor master-file.
Several function keys are available while you enter
the Creditor information:
<F4> This allows you to enter a note detailing any
non-structured information. The information you enter here will be displayed
during PURCHASING,
but will not be printed on the Invoice.
<F9> This initiates a search through the Creditor Group
master-file. The Creditor Group chosen will be automatically inserted into the
Creditor Group field.
<F10> This will end the input phase and cause HiFinance to
test the screen ready for update. Pressing <F10> can save you having to
press <Enter> all the way to the end of
the screen.
<ESC> This will abort the entry of the Creditor. If you
press <ESC>, the Creditor will not be
saved to the Creditor master-file.
