Set Up Alternate Vendors

This FAQ will go over how to set up alternate vendors

• First, go to Inventory > Inventory list and open the item that needs the alternate vendor.
• Then go to the “Vendors” tab.

• Type in the alternate Vendor ID or select it from the drop down.

• Then the vendor number, description, cost, and unit of measure can be filled in.
• Cost will be calculated by the (Cost x Measure Unit Quantity). In this case, if our unit of measure was a bag of ten, and the unit quantity was set to ten, the cost when it’s ordered would be $1,800.

Purchasing Agent

• In purchasing agent, items with alternate vendors will show up in both lists of vendors, not just the primary one.
• If just the primary vendors are to be shown, select the “Only Show Primary Vendors” option in the filters.
