When Circulation exports account credits in Interface to AP, each account’s vendor ID in the Accounts Payable system is included in the export. Vendor IDs can be specified when accounts are set up, or they can be automatically imported with this option. For the required format for the vendor import file, see Appendix B.
To run the import, select Add and enter the file name containing the vendor IDs—the file can have any name (12 characters or less) but must be located in the /dti/exchange/cm directory. Then select Continue. Each account ID in the imported file will be matched with accounts in Circulation. If a match is found, the account’s vendor ID will be updated with the vendor ID in the import file. If there is no match, the account ID in the import file will be listed in an error log that displays after the import has processed. The standard viewing and printing options are available for this report.
