Our organization is looking into recording all our vendors in Raiser's Edge in order to be able to solicit them in the future for donations. 

Does anyone have such a policy in effect, and how do you go about coding them?

We put our major vendors in, Constituency code them Corporation.  The have an attribute of Vendor.  We solicit twice a year when we mail our general corporate letters. 

Hi Christopher and Nina,

I thought I'd drop you a line and let you know about a nice time saving tool.  If you have RE set up to interface with FE, you can actually add vendors into your AP directly from their record in RE.

Have a great weekend,

Naomi

Thanks Naomi, unfortunately we do not have FE. Great idea though.

Naomi,

Do you know if works in reverse?  If I need to add vendors into RE, can I add them from FE?  The whole integration with RE has been one of our biggest frustrations.

Thanks
