Vendors tab for Part Numbers

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

The Vendors tab is used to maintain a list of preferred vendors and associated details by location to be inherited by the item directly from the part number when generating purchase orders or purchase requisitions.

The related report is Inventory Vendors.

The Vendors tab is visible only when the Purchasing module is licensed.

Fields on this tab include:
