Ref If this box is greyed it will be system generated, otherwise enter a unique number for this vendor (this is determined by the food bank administrator). This can be used to reference vendors in other utilities. However, it is not necessary to memorize this number as vendors can be found by name. 

Parent If the vendor is a member of a larger organization, then select the name of the larger organization here (the parent vendor must already be created in the Vendor category).

Status Select the most appropriate category for this vendor. For example, this can be an Individual, Company, Agency, etc. If the appropriate category does not show in the drop-down, the system administrator will need to add it in System Element Setup.

Default Origination Select the correct code from the drop-down menu to be used as a default when entering new receipts from this donor.  It should represent the type of receipts that is USUALLY received from this donor.  However, you can change this field on an individual receipt if needed. The originated code on receipts is used to determine which group and which column the product appears on the Quarterly Poundage Report.  For example, Yellow or Blue receipts, USDA, Purchased, Other Food Bank, etc. IF YOU HAVE A DONOR THAT GIVES MULTIPLE TYPES OF ORIGINATIONS THEN LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK.  IT IS A REQUIRED FIELD ON THE PRERECEIPT THEREFORE YOU WILL CHOOSE THE DEFAULT ORIGINATION ON THE PRERECEIPT.  IF YOUR DONOR ALWAYS GIVES THE SAME TYPE THEN GO AHEAD AND COMPLETE THIS FIELD AND IT WILL PREFILL ON THE PRERECEIPT FOR YOU.
