Multiple Vendors Basic Procedures

  1. Double-click graphics\INVENTORYICON16.gif. The Item window opens, displaying information for the last item selected.

Tip: Click the Location box and enter the location for the item, if it is not already displayed. If the Location box is not displayed in the toolbar, right-click the toolbar and select Location.

  1. Select the item for which to add a secondary wholesaler. If you need instructions, see Selecting an Item.

  2. Click the Vendors tab.

  3. Right-click anywhere in the list of vendors and click Add Wholesaler from the Context menu. The Add Wholesaler Vendor dialog box opens.

  4. Click the ID box and enter the ID for the vendor. To make sure you enter the ID correctly, review the vendor ID information from the Item Add a Wholesaler Vendor dialog box.

  5. Click the Priority box and enter the priority for the secondary vendor. You must specify a priority number between 2 and 9 for a secondary wholesaler. This number must not be assigned to another of this item's vendors. (Priority one is reserved for the primary wholesaler which is the first wholesaler added or loaded for this item.)

Tip: To determine what multiple vendor priority numbers already exist for an item, view the item's vendors in the Item Vendors tab.

  1. Complete the boxes in the Add Wholesaler Vendor dialog box.

Note: The ID and Priority boxes are the only information you have to enter to add a secondary wholesaler. However, we recommend that you examine each of the other boxes to determine whether you need to complete them to suit your business needs.

  1. Click Apply Changes when you have entered all the desired information in the boxes.

  2. Click Exit to exit from the dialog box.

  3. After you exit from the dialog box, you must click graphics\SAVE-SMALL16.gif to save the secondary wholesaler.
