Maintaining an accurate and centralized list of vendors and manufacturers is key to ensuring clean, consistent inventory records across your collections.
Only Account Admins and Inventory Admins can manage the list of vendors, edit vendor details and update contact information.
To access the list, go to any Collection Index Page > Settings Menu > Manage Vendors.
In the Companies list, Admins and Inventory admins can:
Create new vendors by clicking '+ New Company'
Edit vendors information by clicking 'Edit' in the company page.
Remove vendors by clicking 'Delete' in the company page.
If there are items with this vendor selected as 'Manufacturer', the value in this field will be removed automatically, and the item will become non-commercial. A new 'Manufacturer' can then be selected in the item page.
When creating new commercial items in the inventory, the Manufacturer field will allow users to select from the list of existing vendors.
Use the Distributor / Representative checkbox to mark a company accordingly.
Use the "Represented by" dropdown to link a company to another vendor from the list.
