System Data - Supplier

Supplier details are synced to AIM at regular intervals (usually each night) from your property management/strata management system.  Supplier details can't be amended in AIM. If you need to change supplier details, this is done in your property management /strata management system and the updated information will show after the next sync. 

The timing of the sync between your property management/strata management system and AIM will vary according to your system – you can the time and date of the last sync from Last Supplier File imported.

The time is recorded in Australian Eastern Standard time.

The supplier details show key data about each supplier including:

Supplier ID – a code set by your property management/strata management system
ABN – the Australian Business Number of the supplier.
Supplier Name – the name used in your property management/strata management system.

GL Group – the GL group the supplier's default GL code belongs to .
