Vendors

What can I do in this screen?

When should I use this screen?

Use this subtask any time services are bought instead of manufactured.

You must first establish the vendor in the Vendor User Flow (Materials\Maintain\Vendors) before you can enter any additional information in this screen.

You can also maintain this data in the Item Vendor Assignment screen (Materials\Maintain\Items).

Field Descriptions

Vendor *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the vendor from whom you want to purchase this service.

The vendor must not be flagged as a payroll vendor, and its Approval Code must not be Not Approved.

If the vendor is approved or preferred for the service, its Approval Code must not be Pending.
