TripBook - Vendor Additional Charges
When you farm out a trip, and go to close it in TripBook, you may notice, if you have additional charges in the trip, that they appear in both the customer column and the vendor column.
These fields are editable—so that you can change the airport fee or other charge to what the vendor charges you, and have a nice record.
That said, a lot of companies don’t want to bother with all of this—they just want to enter the total vendor charges on the vendor side of TripBook, and have all the individual charges just be 0.
For example, maybe our farm out vendor just charged us a flat $80 all in for this trip. If you happen to click in one of those vendor column entries, then the system adds them all up and adds them to the trip.

Based on the way you enter the vendor charges, you might just want that Vendor column to always be 0…so you don’t have to remember to keep zeroing out the charges that don’t apply.
This is controlled by a setting in Maintenance…System Default Config…Default 1 tab (right column, near the bottom).

Make sure this box is checked, and then restart TripBook. Now, when you select a farmed-out trip, the vendor column will be set to 0.
