Vendor Line Mapping in the Vendor Maintenance (MVR) Line tab is used both for translating information being passed between the Eagle and the vendor during purchasing, such as the vendor’s line codes in Warehouse Inquiries and in purchase orders files received via telecommunications, as well as information being passed from the vendor and into the Eagle system, such as inventory prices and descriptions from services such as PartSource Plus.
“Catch-all” vendor line entries, which are entries without line code mapping values, are used to simplify setup when the vendor line code mapping is the same as the Eagle. If there are exceptions, such as when the vendor has a different line code, or some Eagle lines are not purchased from the vendor, you can enter separate entries to override the catch-all entry.
