Vendor Item

On the Purchase Order Lines or Purchase Order Builder form, enter the number used by the vendor to identify the item. When the Item field is left blank, you may enter a value in the Vend Item field. The corresponding item number from the Vendor Item Contract form is then placed into the Item field.

Note: If the Show in Drop-Down Lists check box on the Items form is cleared for an item, it will not display in this field. However, you may manually enter the item without causing an error.

This field is used to maintain a relationship between the Items record and the vendor's item number.

Note: On the Purchase Order Lines form, if you enter any information in the Vendor Item field for an item for which there is no current Vendor/Item Contract, a prompt displays to create a new contract, which is then created for the entered Vendor/Item information if you press Enter with the Yes default option displayed.

Note: If the Show in Drop-Down Lists check box on the Vendors form is cleared for a vendor, it will not display in this field. However, you may manually enter the vendor without causing an error.
