Stop Wasting Time on Vendor Validation Errors in Acumatica!
This video explores a common challenge faced by Acumatica users: inefficient vendor data validation, and presents a powerful solution using custom Generic Inquiries.
(a) Challenges: The Headache of Vendor Data Errors in Acumatica
Importing vendor data into Acumatica from other systems can lead to errors during batch payment processing. While Acumatica might flag an error, it often fails to pinpoint the specific vendor causing the problem. This forces users to manually review each vendor record, a tedious and time-consuming process, especially when dealing with large datasets.
For example, incorrectly formatted bank account numbers can halt the entire payment process. Without a way to quickly identify the source of the error, users waste valuable time sifting through records.
(b) Solution: Streamline Vendor Validation with Custom Generic Inquiries
As a team of experienced Acumatica consultants at Tayana Solutions, we have developed a solution to this problem: a custom Generic Inquiry (GI) that streamlines vendor data validation.
This GI aggregates all essential vendor and banking information into a single, easily scannable view, allowing users to swiftly identify and rectify issues.
Here’s how the GI works:
- Consolidates Key Data: It pulls together vendor names, IDs, bank account numbers, routing numbers, and other critical payment details.
- Enables Filtering and Sorting: Users can filter records and sort them by specific fields, like bank account number, to efficiently detect duplicates and other inconsistencies.
- Offers Flexibility and Customization: The GI can be tailored to individual client needs and enhanced with calculated fields to highlight potential problems.

Benefits of Using Custom Generic Inquiries
This custom GI offers numerous advantages:
- Substantial Time Savings: By eliminating the need for manual record reviews, the GI significantly reduces the time spent on vendor data validation.
- Proactive Error Prevention: Identifying and correcting data discrepancies before batch processing prevents payment errors and ensures smooth operations.
- Increased Client Satisfaction: Accurate and efficient payment processes contribute to higher client satisfaction.
Beyond these benefits, the GI is a versatile tool adaptable to various situations, providing a safety net for Acumatica implementations.
