Vendor

Select the number of the vendor from whom the items are to be purchased. (Vendor numbers are defined on the Vendors form.) The vendor name and some other fields header then display default values from the Vendors form.

Only vendors defined in the local site are listed. You must ensure that the same vendor number exists in the "To" site where the purchase order will be posted. The vendor must have the same currency in each site that will be included.

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.

If you select a vendor whose pricing is calculated by PO line due date (as indicated in the Vendor Contract Pricing field on the Vendors form), a warning message will display. You can select this vendor, but the system will ignore the setting from the Vendors form. The PO Builder always calculates costs using the PO order date.
