Identifying Vendors for Resupplying Buy Lines

You can create a list of vendors that are able to supply products in an emergency situation.

Use the Vendor hot key to identify the vendor corresponding to the buy line target and other vendors that can replenish these products in an emergency.

When converting a Suggested P/O to an actual P/O, you can use any vendor currently on file in the system, although only one vendor displays in the column. It is an optional field and is provided for reference.

To create a list of vendors that can resupply a buy line:

On the Purch > Maintenance menu, select Buy Line Maintenance to display the Buy Line Maintenance screen.
Use the Vendor hot key to display the Buyline Vendor Maintenance screen.
Enter the names of the available vendors for each branch.
Use the Edit Vendors hot key to assign the vendor a type. Indicate if the vendor is an emergency vendor, line buy vendor, or both.

This entry populates the Line or Emergency field on the Convert to Suggested to Actual P/O screen. See Working with Suggested Purchase Orders.

Use the Hierarchy hot key to change the hierarchy display.
Press Esc to save your changes.
Press Esc to return to the main menu.
