One time customer /Vend or Functionality Usage

Hi Masters,

Of course this is question seems to be a silly question to experts,

but when it comes to me not able to understand about the usage.

In Accounts receiveble / accounts payable there is a field called One time Customer / One time vendor .

Even i gone the through the manuals i could not find any practical example on this .

so could any expert share about this use with a practical example .

Thanks in advance

There are no silly questions!

Define a vendor record as a one time vendor. Setup the onetime vendor settings in the parameter Create a new purchase order and tick the one time vendor, this will copy in all of the settings from the defined vendor and create a new record flagged as a one time vendor. The idea is for ad hoc purchases where you do not have a vendor set you can define them as a one time supplier and use the generic settings of the default you have supplied. Think of it as a short cut vendor!

Hi,

Can I also use the One time Vendor in invoice journal, the same way in PO? I can’t seem to find where the one time supplier check box is.

Thanks!

No because it is a financial liability so needs to be a proper vendor (altough I have not opened the form to see where you are). The one time ultimately creates a proper vendor.

Do you know if it is possible to send interest notes to one time customers?

(Several interest notes to serveral customers although it is one customer number)

Hi Tina,

You can find the one time supplier check box in setup>parameters>general tab>vendor field of Accounts Payable

when u say onetime customer each customer will have his own customer number. you can not have several customers with one customer number.

Hi Tina,

Yes you we can setup this One-time supplier or One-time customer at various levels. They are :

  1. At AP Parameters > General (tab) > Vendor field group > Specify one time supplier. & AR Parameters > General (tab) > Customer field group > Specify one time customer.

  2. For One-time Customer setup at Customer form (Customer form> General (tab)> In administration field group> Select check box One-time customer)

  3. For One-time Vendor setup at Vendor form (Vendor form > Details (tab) > Vendor Profile field group> Select check box One-time vendor)

  4. At Sales Order form: Go to SO form> select SO> Click on Header - General (tab)> Sales order field group > One-time customer.

  5. At Purchase order form: Go to PO form> select PO> Click on Header - General (tab)> Purchase order field group > One-time supplier.

Yes, it would be possible. One time customer only indicates how it was made (on the fly creation, while creating a sales order and checking the one time customer box.) This one time customer could become your greatest customer and you would NOT have to make a new customer id. All functionality is available for one time customers (and vendors/)
