How to use the creditors/vendors master file
The first screen that will display will show a listing of all of your creditors/vendors in mydaEs as shown below.
As usual, the column titles are buttons that can be used to sort those columns. We also have the white fields above each column where you can start typing in any text, and the entries below will reduce to display only those that matched what you typed.
At the bottom of this screen you can choose to ‘Delete’ a particular creditor/vendor if they have not yet been used on a transaction, add a new creditor/vendor, ‘modify’ and existing creditor/vendor or choose to ‘Export all attachments’ that have been previously added to mydaEs for the creditor/vendor as a whole.
