Chapter 6. Purchasing 101 6.3.1 Manage companies Use the Company tab to enter information about a company, including purchasing and payment information, and information about whether the vendor is enabled for e- commerce through IBM Maximo Asset Management. See Figure 6- 2. Figure 6- 2 Company tab You may categorize companies by type for reporting purposes. IBM Maximo Asset Management uses three defaults for company types: Courier type is the transit company. Manufacturer type is the manufacturer of items or assets. Vendor type is the vendor of items or assets. AP Control Account type is the credit account used when the invoice is paid. RBNI Account type is the account for receipts that have not been invoiced. Suspense Account type is the credit account used when invoice is approved. If your company decides to no longer do business with a vendor, you can mark the record to indicate that the vendor is disqualified. After you disqualify a vendor, you can no longer create new PRs, POs, RFQs, or invoices for the vendor. Note: When selecting a company type, the default GL accounts for that company type are automatically displayed in the AP Control Account, RBNI Account, and the Suspense Account fields. To set up default company GL accounts for a particular company type, use the Company Related Accounts dialog box in the Chart of Accounts application.
