Vendor Items

From the vendor items tab, users can view, edit, link, and create vendor tems. Vendor items are associated directly with a single purchased item and represent the vendor-specific item record for the purposes of AP invoicing and purchase orders. Since a purchased item might be supplied by multiple vendors or in varied case sizes, multiple vendor items can be associated with a single purchased item.

If a vendor supplies the same item with different case packs or item numbers, multiple vendor items representing the different purchase UofMs / item numbers are required. 

The item number for the vendor item should match the vendor order guide and vendor invoices. The vendor item number is used as the lookup value for EDI AP Invoice Imports and order guide imports.
