The primary use of the Supplier Form and Table is to provide name and address information for use by the Accounts Payable process. In doing this, it also provides an automated phone book and mailing address reference for your use.

The information in the form/table is self explanatory, except for the "Locator Name". This allows you to use abbreviations of your choice for the lookup in Accounts Payable while having the formal name to be used in addressing checks in the "Supplier Name" field. This way you can use something like "Pastor" for the lookup, and "The Rev. Christopher C. ChurchMouse" in the name field. Look up "Pastor" and get the entire name.

The use of the Supplier Name is not required for checks to Suppliers; however, there is no other way to get the name and address on a check for mailing with a window envelope.
