Matching Customers and Vendors

[Former Member]

Hi

How to match the customer and vendor ( both are same).

Hi Raju,

Customer: is a person who buys the goods and render services and finally pay for goods.

Vendor : Supplier of goods or services of a commercial nature; may be a manufacturer, importer, or wholesale distributor. For example, one component of the Index of Leading Indicators is vendor performance, meaning the rate at which suppliers of goods are making delivery to their commercial customers.

Some cases the vendor becomes a customer to the company.

Eg;- vendor supplying a raw material and finally purchasing the finished product from the company as a customer.

Hope this clarifies your doubts.Please reward if really helpful.

The only way is to check the VAT code if they have one.

Then in the customer master you can find the field 'vendor code' (general data/control data tab) and in the vendor master the field 'customer code'.

pls. reward if helpful
