You should run these programs:

  • Vendor Maintenance (VM) to set up vendors.

  • Vendor Price Maintenance (VMM) to enter a vendor's pricing and surcharges for an item.

  • GL Account Maintenance (GMM) to set up GL organization codes and GL accounts.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.
