Use Buyline Vendor Maintenance 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 Buyline Vendor Maintenance are used in Emergency Vendor Maintenance to replenish stock in an emergency.
To assign vendors to buy lines:
From the Purchase > Maintenance menu, select Buy Line Maintenance to display the Buy Line Maintenance window.
In the Buy Line ID field, enter the buy line for which you want to assign vendors.
From the Information menu, select Vendors to display the Buyline Vendor Maintenance window.
From the File menu, select Edit Vendors to display the Buyline Vendor Types window.
On a blank line in the Vendor field, enter the vendor name you want to assign.
In the Type field, enter the type of vendor you are assigning: Line, Emergency or Both.
In the ScoreCard field, select the check box next to the single vendor that you want to include in the vendor scorecard build. You can only include one vendor per branch per buy line.
Important: Selecting this check box creates a link between vendors and products through the buy line and is used for gathering inventory metrics in the vendor scorecard. 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. For more information, see Building the Vendor Scorecard File.
