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.
