For items that have a primary vendor, a corresponding alternate vendor, as well as DC vendors, the system automatically updates the corresponding alternate vendor information. This occurs when you update item information that relates to the primary vendor on tabs of Inventory Maintenance other than the Vendor tab. For example, if you change the order multiple on the Stocking tab, the system updates the corresponding order multiple for the alternate vendor that matches the primary vendor.
Note: Since most of these fields exist on the Load tab of Inventory Maintenance, it is recommended that you make your changes there.
Display an existing item in Inventory Maintenance, and change any of the following fields while on the Stocking, Pricing, or Stocking tab:
Manufacture part number
Order Multiple
Replacement Cost
Click Change to save your changes.
Examine the Vendor tab to see that the changes have been copied over. Note the following:
If your primary vendor and manufacturer vendor are the same, then when you change Manufacture Part Number,the system updates the alternate vendor that matches the primary vendor, the manufacturing vendor, as well as all the DC vendors.
If you make a change to the Replacement Cost, the system updates the cost of the corresponding alternate vendor that matches the primary vendor.
If you change the Order Multiple, the system updates the Vendor Order Multiple for the alternate vendor that matches the primary vendor.
These changes only go from other tabs to the vendor tab, and not from the vendor tab back.
