How do I add a default activity code to a vendor?

Link a vendor to a default activity code. An activity code is set up in the Connect General Ledger application to track transactions. When you link a vendor to an activity code, the transactions that are tied to the vendor will also be linked to the activity code. When you use activity reporting, you will be able to review every transaction from any Connect application that uses an activity code.
