Choose Vendors for W/L items.
This program selects items from the Item Want List that don't have a vendor assigned to them. It will show you the multiple vendors for the item so that you may choose an appropriate one. After doing this, you may choose to add this to an existing Purchase Order for this vendor as long as it hasn't been issued. You may TAB search for all open Purchase Orders for the vendors.
All non-stock, new items or items with no supplier record - the Want List will first look at:
-

-
Column E is the vendor number assigned to all the item numbers with that prefix
- If the item number prefix is in this file and a vendor number is assigned in column E, the computer will automatically assign the vendor to the item, and you will not use this task for that item.

On the line: Vendor#:_____ Quantity: ______ PO#:_______ you can type in the vendor number from the displayed list or use the TAB key to search for another vendor. You will then be prompted for the quantity you would like to order and you can add it to an existing Purchase Order via the PO# field by selecting one of the open PO’s (if you use the TAB key on the PO# field, a list of all open PO’s for that vendor will appear and if there is only one open PO, that PO number will automatically populate the field and you are asked if it is the right PO to use) or it can be added to a PO at a later time.
IF you want to skip the item that is displayed, use the left arrow key to skip the current record/item and go onto the next item or if you want to exit the program use the ESC key.
