The Alternate Vendor Tab may be accessed by clicking on the Inventory > Inventory > Alt. Vendors tab. form from Inventory Control menu.
The Alt Vendor tab is used to list all the alternative vendors where you can purchase the selected inventory item in the Inventory Item form. This tab allows you to create an unlimited number of Vendors for one Item Number. This feature is very helpful if you often get the same product from multiple vendors. It allows you to input the Vendor ID, their number, the lead time and cost.
The Vendor combo box field is where you can choose a vendor from a drop down menu. You can select any vendor that has been previously entered in the Vendors form.
Clicking on the Ellipse button to the left of the Alternate Vendor ID field for the first line item will bring you to the Vendors form where you may review the Vendor. See: Vendors
There is an X button beside the ellipse button of each line item which, when clicked, will delete an alternate vendor.
