The vendor is the company or person from whom the merchandise is being ordered.
Do not confuse the vendor with the manufacturer of the item being ordered. For example, if you are ordering Seiko watches from Seiko, both the vendor and the manufacturer are Seiko. However, if you are ordering Seiko watches from Joe Green, then Mr. Green is the vendor and the manufacturer is Seiko. Usually, the vendor and the manufacturer are the same. The accounts payable invoice will be created for the vendor not the manufacturer.
The vendor must be found or created in the vendor file before the PO can be entered.
The following fields will appear on the screen:
VENDOR CODE:
VENDOR NAME:
To find the vendor by vendor code, type the 3-character code for the vendor. You can also find the vendor by name by leaving the code blank and pressing <Enter>, then typing a portion of the name. Press <Enter> to begin the search for the vendor record.
If the vendor information has never before been recorded on the system, type a new vendor code for the vendor.
Jewelry Shopkeeper will check the vendor file for a record that matches the entry you typed.
If you are searching by the vendor name, or are searching by vendor code, but an exact match is not found, a list of the closest matches will appear on the following pick-list screen:
