Type the name of the contact person at the vendor company.

Enter the vendor’s price for the item.

This field is available only if you are using a multicurrency ledger.

When entering a new vendor, either type in the three-letter international currency code (for example, USD, CAD, or GBP) for the vendor’s home currency, or select one using the Finder. You cannot modify this field for an existing vendor.

Type the number that the vendor uses to identify the item.

Type the name of the vendor company.

Type or use the Finder to select the identification number you use for the vendor of the item.

The vendor type is a number that sets the priority for each vendor of the selected item. No two vendors can have the same priority.

You can specify up to nine vendors, and you may enter them in any order you please. However, when you return to the screen the program will display them in ascending order.

Overview

Use the Vendor Details screen to:

  • Record the vendors and costs for each item you purchase.
  • Establish the order of priority of your suppliers, if you buy the same item from more than one vendor.
