A vendor is a company, individual, sister store or other entity from which you purchase or receive transfers of goods.
The purpose of the Vendor Editor is to set up the information that relates to these entities so that FOOD-TRAK can use it to effectively track bids and purchases, costs, transfers and requisitions. With the advent of online purchasing, vendor interfaces can submit your shopping lists and purchase orders automatically, using the information you provide to this Editor.
The Vendor Editor consists of 3 tabs: the General tab, the Accounting tab and the Vendor Items tab. The General tab contains basic information about the vendor, such as name, address, contacts and phone numbers, while the Accounting tab contains more specific information about customer and account numbers, bid preferences, delivery days, and items handled by the vendor.The Vendor Items tab lists those items you normally purchase from the vendor, as well as the item codes, purchase units, SKU information and descriptions that each vendor applies to an item.
A fourth tab, Remote Access, is available if the Bidding Module or Advanced Procurement Module are allocated to the site.
