Managing Vendors

The Vendors feature is where you can view and/or maintain vendor information.

Note: This feature is typically managed by administration users only. Contact your system administrator for more information.

Vendor Selection Screen

The Vendor Selection screen appears when you click Vendors in the Purchasing Switchboard. From the Vendor Selection screen, you can do the following:

•	Search for a vendor. Select ‘Vendor Name’, ‘Vendor ID’, ‘City’ or ‘State or Province’ from the ‘Search’ drop-down list. Enter the corresponding text in the 'for' field, then click the Search button.

•	Lookup (view) a vendor and modify the information. Select a vendor, then click Lookup.

•	Create a vendor. Click New.

•	Delete a vendor. Select a vendor, then click Delete. MenuLink Client prompts you to confirm the deletion. Keep in mind that rather that deleting a vendor, you can exclude a vendor from view. Exclusion is recommended over deletion, since vendors have historical information associated with them.

•	View other vendors in MenuLink Client by clicking on Show Excluded. Keep in mind that you cannot order items from these vendors. Contact your system administrator for more information.
