No Vendor in "Part Item - EDIT" Screen

Post by Rich »

If it is when you found the part on-line then transfered to an Ro, you are correct. It never has entered the store name. I believe it is in the works.

The Vendor field gets populated automatically when the part is ordered. What is being discussed is the timing of that fill; some want it to fill at the point of inquiry rather that waiting until order. Stay tuned

This would be much preferred. When ordering from multiple vendors it can get a bit confusing sometimes. For example, a full timing belt job using OE from RepairLink and OE from Worldpac.

Agreed. I think that field should fill when you do a PRICE CHECK. That way you know who to order it from when the time arises.

Agrees- we think that the vendor field should be filled in as soon as you transfer it from the vendor catalog to the estimate (or Revision)>.

Agree- Vendor should be filled immediately when transferring estimate. Can be confusing when ordering multiple parts from different vendors.
