About the Primary Wholesaler
The first wholesaler vendor you enter, or load from an external source, becomes the primary wholesaler for the item. This is the vendor from which you usually purchase the item. This vendor has a priority of 1.
The primary wholesaler information is non-location specific and is available to all General Ledger locations.
Note: You can also use an O/PUS update to load all of the primary wholesaler information.
After your primary wholesaler is set up, you can set up each additional wholesaler for this item in the Add Wholesaler Vendor dialog box. The vendors entered here display in the Item Vendors tab when you inquire on the item and in Order Entry when you place an order.
Note: If the vendor you specify in the Purchase Order Entry window matches the vendor in the Direct Buy / Cost boxes in the Item Master tab (the direct-buy vendor), that information is used. Otherwise, the information from the Primary [Whl] / Cost boxes in the Item Master tab (the primary wholesaler) is used.
