Miscellaneous Vendor Overview

A Miscellaneous Vendor is defined in this chapter as a common vendor ID used to identify a group of vendors.

EBMS requires that whenever an expense invoice is processed, or whenever a payment is made, a vendor account must be used to identify the source of the invoice or the recipient of the payment. A need may arise to process an invoice or issue a check to a vendor that you never expect to do business with again on which you do not wish to maintain detailed information.

For the following situations, it is recommended that you do NOT use a miscellaneous vendor:
