The Vendor Maintenance page (FTMVEND) allows you to determine if a vendor is currently established in Banner. You can search for a vendor using the vendor's full or partial ID number, or the vendor's full or partial name.

FTMVEND displays vendor information for the vendor name or ID that you filtered. You can use FTMVEND to view a vendor's address, start date, tax status, and last vendor activity date with additional information.

1. Type FTMVEND in the Search field and press ENTER.
2. Click the Search button next to the Vendor field. This opens the Entity Name/ID Search page (FTIIDEN).
3. Enter your search criteria.
4. Click the Go button.
5. Click the appropriate ID in the query to highlight it.
   NOTE: If you do not locate an ID for your vendor, a Vendor Information Form will be required (available from the Vendor Payment Forms page).
6. Review the Vendors column to determine if the ID is for an active vendor:
   1. Yes means the ID is for an active vendor.
   2. No means the ID has never been active as a vendor. A Vendor Information Form is required, unless the ID is for a current student or employee (as indicated by the iCard system).
   3. Terminated indicates that the ID was active as a vendor at one time, but the ID has been terminated.
7. Double-click the appropriate vendor name to go back to FTMVEND.
8. Click the Go button.
9. Click the Next Section button to move through each tab.
   OR
   Click a specific tab to view that information.
   OR
   Select the Related menu to choose the information you want to view.
   NOTE: A checkmark in the Vendor Text box on the Vendor Maintenance tab indicates there may be additional information if the ID has been terminated or if an address you wish to use has been inactivated. Select Text (FOATEXT) from the Related menu to determine if the ID can be activated with a new Vendor Information Form, or if the ID was terminated and replaced by another ID. You can also check the Vendor Name field to see if there is a replacement ID.
