Adding shared (global) vendors without a master site

When a vendor record is added in one site, it does not automatically populate in other shared sites. If you want a vendor to exist in multiple sites, first create it in one site and then add the existing vendor into other sharing sites using these steps:

Note: In the following description, "sharing sites" means all categories that contain the vendaddr table are being replicated between the sites.
  1. In one site, go to the Vendors form. Add and save the new vendor records. The vendor number, name and some other information from the vendaddr table is replicated to sharing sites.
  2. At the other sites, go to the Vendors form and select Actions > New.
  3. Specify the vendor number. The vendor name, address and some other information from the vendaddr table is displayed.
  4. Fill in the rest of the information manually in the Vendors form at the sharing site.
