NCAS

Requesting the Change of a Trade Vendor:  Before It Has Been Added to the Statewide Vendor File Step-By-Step

From the Purchasing module:

1. Type VSL in the NEXT FUNCTION field and press ENTER to access the Vendor Short Name Lookup (VSL) screen. 
2. Type VADD in the PAY ENTITY field. 
3. Type the Julian date of your request, your four-digit phone extension, your first name, and @ (e.g., 2543314laura@) in the SHORT NAME field and press ENTER to display the vendors you have requested to be added.  
 
Note:  When adding vendors to the NCAS, it automatically inserts the Julian date before the short name to help 
          identify the date your vendor request was made. The Julian date tracks the number of days that have 
          passed in a calendar year. For example, the date January 3 has a Julian date of 003. Be sure to use three 
          digits when entering the Julian date.  
4. Type VSU in the ACTIVITY field of the requested vendor and press ENTER to access the Vendor Setup (VSU) screen. 
5. Type C in the REQUEST field and press ENTER
6. Type the changed information over the existing information for all fields that need to be corrected. 
7. Press ENTER to complete the change request.
