Report Groups can be easily imported from Excel. Here's a fast way to set all your "On Hold" vendors to the Report Group "EFT":
  • On the Vendor Grid, Press F6 to bring up the SmartFinder.
  • Adjust the Grid Columns to show Vendor number, Vendor Name, Vendor Status (On Hold) and Report Group.
  • Set the SmartFinder Rule to select all vendors where Vendor Status = 1.
  • Send the resulting list to Excel and save the file in amongst your Adagio Data, turning off the Total Row.
  • Create an import template to import this Excel Sheet using File | Import | Vendors.
  • Choose the Vendor Code Field and 4 Fillers (You don't actually need to import anything other than the Vendor Code).
  • Set the default Values for Vendor Status to "0" and Report Group to "EFT".
  • Don't allow the addition of New Vendors. Say the First Row contains Headings.
  • Make a backup.
  • Process the import.
  • Check the changes have been made as you expect.
