Setting up vendor applications
Application Extended Term Vendor Setup
For the extended application determination you can use the Application Extended Term Vendor Setup. Here you define the string from which Business Central should automatically identify, for example, an External Doc. No.. You have the possibility to define strings for different fields. The number of defined strings is unlimited.
Important
The Application Extended Term Vendor Setup is only taken into account if the Extended Application field is activated in the Statement Setup.
In the String Length field, enter the length of the string to be searched for in the Purpose of the bank statement. Also enter a prefix if your Document No. / External Doc. No. always starts with a constant, fixed value.
Then select the type of field (Search Field Type) for which you want to perform the search. If necessary, specify a Priority and set the Restriction:
The field will be filled with the appropriate number of ? depending on the value you have stored in the String Length field. Each question mark represents exactly one character.
Note
The Application Extended Term Vendor Setup is only taken into account if the Extended Application field is activated in the Statement Setup.
The document number INV99999 has the prefix length 3 and the actual length 5.
The document number 2020-99999 also has the length 5, since 2020- is also to be regarded as a prefix.
Use document numbers that are structured as follows, for example: 16/07/99999, then enter 11 in the character length, and ??/??/????? in the limitation field.
If you do not want to search for this criterion temporarily, place a check mark in the Blocked field. If you do not need it permanently, you can alternatively delete the entry.
If you place a check mark in the End of Match field, the search for this criterion will be ended as soon as at least one matching Vendor entry has been found. The criteria with lower priority will then no longer be applied.
