When deciding on an account number for a creditor (vendor), it has been Edupac's legacy rule of thumb to create the number as follows:
1. Creditor's accounts start with 4.
2. Next four characters are the first 4 letters of the vendor's surname / company name.
3. Last two characters are 01, 02 etc.
4. Example: The second vendor that is created with the company name Edupac will get Account number 3EDUP02.
Note:
The naming convention in the tip above is only a guideline. The format of an account number is a free format and may be any combination of characters.
