I/C Items Screen

You use the I/C Vendor Details screen to add detailed information about each vendor and what they charge for a selected item. You also assign a priority to each vendor.

  • Add items in Inventory Control.
  • Add vendors in Accounts Payable.

To add vendor information to items:

  1. Open Inventory Control  > I/C Items and Price Lists >  Vendor Details.
  2. Specify the inventory item number to associate with vendors.
  3. In the table, for each vendor who supplies the item:
    1. Click Add Line to add a line to the table.
    2. In the Vendor Type column, select a vendor type (priority), using Vendor 1 for the vendor you use the most. You cannot assign the same vendor type to two different vendors for the same item.

    4. In the Vendor Item Number column, specify the item number that the vendor uses to identify this inventory item.
    5. In the Cost Unit column, specify the vendor's cost unit of measure (UOM) for this item.
    6. In the Vendor Cost column, enter the amount this vendor charges your company for the item.
  4. Click Save.
