9. VENDOR A/P STATUS INQUIRY USER GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW
Wakefern Food Corporation is pleased to announce the successful development of an expanded Internet Web site for our vendors. As a result of our continuous endeavor to reduce cost in the supply chain and improve our customer services with the vendor community we have developed the "Vendor A/P Status Inquiry" application.
The Vendor A/P Status Inquiry application will provide trading partners with the ability to:
- Conduct on-line electronic inquires
- Access the status of their invoices and purchase orders
- View check information and the appropriate backup for selective types of deductions.
You will have access to an online list of Wakefern names and telephone numbers to assist you. The requirements are a PC, Internet access, and password authorization for access. If you encounter technical issues please contact the Wakefern Help Desk at 732-225-8095.
