Specifies the code for the general business posting group of the vendor.
The program automatically retrieves the code from the Vendor table when you fill in the Buy-from Vendor No. field.
The code specifies to which general business posting group this particular vendor belongs. The general business posting groups can be set up to group vendors by geographical area (Domestic, EU countries/regions, Overseas, and so on), type of business, or to distinguish between private entities and governmental agencies.
The program uses the business code, together with the Gen. Product Posting Group and Gen. Posting Type fields, to determine certain trade conditions. When you post transactions that involve this vendor, the program looks for the business code, in combination with the general product posting group code, in the General Posting Setup, where the G/L accounts to which the program posts purchases, discount amounts, COGS and inventory adjustments are specified.
To see the general business posting groups in the Gen. Business Posting Group table, click the field.
Normally, you should not change the contents of this field but it may be necessary in special cases where the default code is not appropriate.
