Vendor Profile: Distribution Tab

The Distribution tab loads the default distribution for a vendor. This identifies to which account and by what percentages a voucher being entered through the accounts payable system will be distributed.

To open the Distribution tab, click the Update/View Profile link on the Vendor Profile screen and select the Distributiontab.

Note:  When creating a Miscellaneous purchase order, as long as the distribution percentage specified on this screen amounts to 100%, the system will automatically apply the distribution to any items added on the Details tab of the order.

Select the Only these accounts valid for voucher distribution checkbox, to allow users to distribute vouchers for this vendor to only the accounts listed below.

The fields on the Distribution tab are:

Distribution
Field	Description
Account Number	The general ledger account number that is used for distribution. If a percentage is used, the system will distribute the calculated amount that the account specified. If the Only these account valid for voucher distribution checkbox is selected, the general ledger account loaded here is the only account that can be used on the distribution lines when entering a voucher.
Percentage	The percentage to be distributed to this G/L account. The total percentage of all accounts must equal 100%. This is an optional field - if it is not entered, the system will just use the G/L Account numbers to auto populate the distribution lines when a voucher is created.

Note:  An error will occur on the A/P voucher distribution screen if you try to distribute an amount to an account not listed in the default distribution window.
