The Vendor module is where you go to add, edit, and view information on all of your vendors. It’s pretty straightforward.
You’ll see a list of your vendors in the Search panel. Click on one and hit the View button at the bottom to open it up. You’ll see a wealth of information on the vendor pop up, including its:
- Physical address
- Website address
- Contact information, possibly including names, phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses.
You can set the vendors’ default payment terms, default carrier, shipping terms, status, and parts associated with them.
To create a new vendor, simply click the New button at the top of the interface and add all of the details mentioned above.
This concludes the Purchasing module group. We’ll keep pressing forward with the Manufacturing module group next time.
