SAAP - PEID
Enables Check Requests
A required code that enables check requests. The common code is also one of two codes used to add new vendors via the SA Check Request page, Vendor tab. The presence of this code will assign a system-generated Vendor ID (if not using the TBD Default Rule, discussed below). The Vendor ID, also known as PE ID or person/entity code, will be a system-generated identity based on the second NU Common Code with a Code Category/Value of SYNO/PEIDNUMS (or PEIDXXXX). First set up or decide which PEID format to use. Second, unite the SA Check Request page with the PEID seed using the SAAP/PEID common code. Within SAAP/PEID's 1st Associated Code, specify which seed to use. The example shown in the screenshot below uses the code SYNO/PEID001, which is based on SYNO/PEIDNUMS. Most important is that the Code Value "PEID001" is referenced in the 1st Associated Code field. Note that SYNO/PEID001 must be defined within its own record within NU common codes.
The seed assigned for the new Vendor ID (or PEID) will be generated (and eventually visible on the check request within the AP subsystem) after the check request is submitted (and approved, if Workflow Approvals turned on). Submit check requests by selecting either the "Record Check" or "Accounts Payable Set" tool on the SA Check Request (SAUPCR) page.
