Create a Vendor or Customer

Create a Vendor or Customer

Background

Whenever the state establishes a relationship with a new vendor or customer, the new vendor or customer needs to be added to the Vendor/Customer Database (VCUST). To add a vendor or customer to the database a VCC (Vendor Customer Create) document must be submitted and approved. If an entity on some occasions pays the state (customer), and at other times is paid by the state (vendor), in most cases it will have a unique number as a customer and a different unique number as a vendor.
