Creating Primary Vendor Contacts

For each matter for which accruals are tracked, the law firm/vendor designated as the primary vendor contact for the matter must be added as a player with the specified player type and role (as defined by the System Administrator).

  2. On the Base Info tab, click the Accrue Costs checkbox to enable it.
  3. Click the Add button next to the Primary Vendor Contact field (if a contact already exists, a link to the player will appear next to the field and the Add button will not appear).
