Vendor Classes are used to identify default values that will be applied to new Vendor accounts and to group accounts together for reporting purposes. They are used in Purchasing and are required for all Vendor accounts. The purpose of this page is to add, edit, remove, and activate/inactive these records.
The data for this page comes from the AP Vendor Class table. When opened from the Fishermen Class List View, all the AP Vendor Classes that contain a 'Vendor Type' of Fisherman, Tender, Fishermen & Tender, and Loan are displayed.

| Favorites |   Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline.

| Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).
