Updated over a week ago

Setting a vendor (supplier) on an item is needed in order to :

  • Create purchase orders using the low inventory report.

  • Create drop-ship purchase orders.

  • Create purchase orders from the sales list.

Vendors can be assigned in one of two ways:

Assign a vendor to an item

Find the item you would like to assign a vendor to by starting from the menu Inventory > View Variants and searching for the variant you wish to update.

Then go to the UOM/Pricing tab and click add.

Enter the following information:

Vendor - Search and select the vendor


Vendor SKU - Vendor's product code


UOM - Unit of Measure


Price - The price you generally pay for this item from this supplier. If the vendor is a default vendor, the pricing will come from the default pricelist associated with the vendor.

For Example, If Vendor A is default and the vendor has a default pricing of Purchase Price list, then the pricing set to Purchase Price list will load as the item pricing. If the vendor is not default, you will have to set the pricing here.


Recent Date - This will be automatically set. The most recent date this product was ordered.


Lead Time - Number of days between PO confirmation and fulfillment.


Drop Shippable - Check flag to make this dropshippable. This will allow this product to be created as a Dropship item on sales orders.


Default - Check to make this the default vendor.

Assign a vendor to multiple items

To assign a vendor to multiple items, from the menu Purchases > View Vendors and search for the vendor you wish to assign items.

Click on the Add button.

Search the item, you wish to add and then fill in the details and click the check mark to save the item to the vendor.
