To assign vendors to buy lines:Use the Buy Line Vendor Maintenance screen to identify vendors who you use to replenish your buy lines. Identify vendors who will replenish the entire buy line or individual branches. Also use this screen to flag vendors for analyzing performance information using the vendor scorecard.
Vendors identified in Buy Line Vendor Maintenance are used in Emergency Vendor Maintenance to replenish stock in an emergency.
To assign vendors to buy lines:From the Purch > Maintenance menu, select Buy Line Maintenance to display the Buy Line Maintenance screen.
In the Buy Line ID field, enter the buy line for which you want to assign vendors.
Use the Vendors hot key to display the Buyline Vendor Maintenance screen.
Use the Edit Vendors hot key.
Place the cursor on a blank line.
In the Vendors field, enter the vendor name you want to assign.
In the Types field, enter the type of vendor you are assigning. Press F10 and select Line, Emergency or Both.
In the VSC field, enter an asterisk next to the single vendor that you want to include in the vendor scorecard build file. You can only include one vendor per branch per buy line.
Setting vendors for the scorecard creates a link between vendors and products through the buy line, and is used for gathering inventory metrics. We recommend that you enter the ship-from vendor as the scorecard vendor. This allows you to gather metrics at a ship-from level in the Vendor Scorecard Inquiry.
