Vendor

The Vendors module in AureusERP enables efficient management of your suppliers by storing critical business, contact, and financial information. Vendor creation follows a structure similar to customer creation, with dedicated fields tailored for vendor-specific operations.

Vendor Creation

Steps to Create a Vendor

1. Navigate to Invoices → Vendors → Vendors.

   

2. Fill out the form with the following details:

   General Section

   • Individual or Company: Identify whether the vendor is a person or a registered business. If a company is selected, the system assumes this is the primary organization, and the "Company" field becomes irrelevant.
   • Name: The official name of the vendor or contact person.
   • Company: Link this vendor to an existing company record in your system. Useful if the contact is part of a larger business group.
   • Tax ID: The government-issued tax identification number. Essential for regulatory compliance and tax reporting.
   • Job Title: Specifies the role of the individual in the vendor's organization.
   • Phone / Mobile: Primary phone numbers for contacting the vendor.
   • Email: Official email used for business communication and invoice exchange.
   • Website: Vendor's web address, used for quick reference and validation.
   • Title: Honorific or formal prefix (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr.) for polite communication.
   • Tags: Keywords or labels used to categorize the vendor for quick searching or reporting.
   • Address: Complete address of the vendor including street, city, postal code, state, and country.
   

   Sales and Purchase Section

   • Sales

     • Sales Person: Assigns an internal team member who manages the relationship with this vendor.
     • Payment Terms: Specifies how soon the vendor expects to receive payment (e.g., immediately, after 30 days).
     • Payment Method: Defines the preferred method for the vendor to receive payments (e.g., bank transfer, cheque, cash).

   • Purchase

     • Payment Terms: Sets default payment deadlines for bills issued by the vendor.
     • Payment Method: Indicates how your organization intends to pay this vendor regularly.
   

   • Fiscal Information

     • Fiscal Position: Automatically maps taxes and accounts based on the vendor’s location, tax profile, or business rules. This simplifies tax computation and posting during transactions.

   • Others

     • Company ID: Internal identifier for the vendor, useful for linking within systems or importing/exporting data.
     • Reference: External or custom identifier for the vendor used for tracking or syncing with other systems.
     • Industry: Categorizes the vendor based on the market or sector they operate in. Useful for analytics and reporting.
   

   Invoicing Section

   • Customer Invoices

     • Invoice Sending Method: Determines how invoices are exchanged—via download, email, or postal mail.
     • eInvoice Format: Specifies the format of electronic invoices (if your country mandates or supports e-invoicing).

   • Automation

     • Auto Post Bills: Controls whether the system should automatically post bills. Options:
       • Always: Bills from this vendor are automatically validated and posted.
       • Ask After 3 Validations Without Edit: Automatically posts if no changes are made after three validations.
       • Never: Requires manual validation and posting.
     • Ignore Abnormal Invoice Amount: Allows the system to skip warning prompts for unusually large or small invoice totals from this vendor.
     • Ignore Abnormal Invoice Date: Lets the system bypass alerts when invoice dates appear irregular (e.g., far in the past or future).
