Create a Vendor Group:

Use vendor groups to set up certain information that always defaults when you enter a new vendor.
For example, use the vendor group to set up automatic posting to General Ledger accounts for consumption generated by vendor transactions. In the Vendor groups form, set up vendor groups. You must set up at least one vendor group, because a vendor group must be specified when you create a new vendor.

To create a Vendor Group, go to Accounts payable>Vendors>Vendor group

Click the New button to create a new record:
Enter a short name for the vendor group in the Vendor group field. This name is used throughout the system. Enter the full name of the vendor group in the Description field.
