Suppliers (AP303000)

This window enables you to add new suppliers and view the existing ones.
This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

Introduction

  • To create a new supplier, start by selecting a supplier class. This selection automatically applies the default values from the chosen class to various elements. However, you can modify these default settings as required.
  • If a supplier has only one location, that location will automatically be set as the default. However, if the supplier has multiple locations, you must manually set one as the default location. The settings of the default location will then be used as default values in data entry windows.

Search line in list window

If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view.

There are two types of search fields:

  • White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or % and get different results:

    • space: the result contains the words in any order,
    • %: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the % functions as a wildcard as well.
  • Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.

The following options are available:

Half-months
A VAT report is filed twice a month, on the 15th calendar day and the last day of the month (regardless of the number of days in the month).
Month

6 months
A VAT report is filed twice a year (that is, every six calendar months).
Year
A VAT report is filed once in a calendar year.
Financial period

Use the financial period’s end date as VAT period, not the document date

If this check box is not selected, it is the document date that is used for calculation of VAT. Note that the VAT periods and the financial periods configured in the system can differ.

If you select the check box, it is the end date of the period on the document that is used for calculation of VAT. Then the VAT will always follow the posted period end date, and the document date will not affect the VAT reporting period.

Example

The periods:

04-2022 - starts on 01 April and ends 30 April 2022

05-2022 - starts on 01 May and ends 31 May 2022

If the document date is 30 April 2022, but the period is set to May. Then the VAT will use the last date in period 5 for the document, which is 31 May.

The date used for the VAT calculation will then be 31.05.2022 - and not 30.04.2021. For the monthly-based VAT report, the system will report it for the VAT period 05-2021.
