Vendor/Payee Homepage - Search Payees
This is the vendor/payee homepage. By way of a note, both vendors and employees are technically saved in the payee table. That allows you to pay actual vendors or your employees. The main difference between a vendor and an employee is permissions. An employee is assigned permissions, login information, and is able to move around the application according to permissions. A vendor/payee is used for paying for things that go through the expense/receipts and PO sections.

This homepage or search page is used for a number of different functions. This is where you can start a vendor/payee search to create an expense/receipt, new check request, or a PO (purchase order). It is also how you get into the add/edit vendors section of the site.

1. Who is getting paid or vendor type - Choose a payee type from the list provided.

2. Vendor/Payee Name Filter - Enter a vendor/payee name in the field provided. The field is flexible and allows you to type and search for matching characters. For instance, say you wanted to get the last name of "Smith". You could enter "s", "sm", "smith" (whatever is needed to filter the records correctly). The controls below the filter field are to help the application know where to search for the vendor/payee filter provided. There must be something (characters) in the filter field for the vendor type fields to work (business, last name, and first name).
