Vendors Overview

How do I? | Add a New Vendor | View a Vendor's History

Basic

Each vendor from whom you purchase merchandise must be identified by a unique company name. When you assign a vendor to each item defined in inventory, Point of Sale can track and report on the merchandise by vendor as it is ordered, received, and sold.

You can also assign each vendor a user-defined code of one to three alphanumeric characters. These vendor codes can be a useful alternate way of searching for a vendor record and appear on printed price tags where the printable space is often limited.

If you have integrated Point of Sale with QuickBooks Desktop financial software, you can elect to enter vendor invoices (for the merchandise you have purchased) in either program. This Point of Sale company preference choice affects how receiving vouchers are transferred to QuickBooks Desktop.

(Pro) Remote stores can view and filter reports by vendor, but only Headquarters can add or edit vendors.
