The following inventory related changes have been made in version 1.3.0:
Vendor item information can now be maintained for any item that may be purchased: part, misc, and overhead items. Maintained information includes vendor item number, list price, our cost, last cost, along with the primary and secondary vendors for the item. Whenever an item is entered on a PO or Vendor Invoice, if a vendor part item has been set up, the vendor’s price (Our Cost) will be used as the initial price for the line item. In the future, the primary and secondary vendor information will be used in a Purchasing Wizard that will generate purchase orders based on current stock requirements, or the requirements of one or more tasks.
When entering line items on a PO, Receipt, or Vendor Invoice, use the popup menu (or Ctrl+V) to display a form for entering a vendor part number and price for the currently selected item number.
From a PO, Receipt, or Vendor Invoice, use the popup menu (or Ctrl+H) to display the Vendor Item / Purchase History form for the currently selected item number. This form has a view that shows all vendors from which the item can be ordered, and another view for a history of purchases made for the current item. In the Vendor Item view, modifications can be made to the vendor item information, and the primary and secondary vendors for the item can be assigned. This form also allows you to change the vendor assigned to the PO, Receipt, or Vendor Invoice by selecting an entry from either of these views using the popup menu (or Alt+S).
The Purchasing Manager now has a Vendor Part view for reviewing and maintaining the vendor price lists.
Allows access to the Vendor Item / Purchase History form for maintenance of vendor item info and setup of the primary and secondary vendors for the item. The primary and secondary vendor information is displayed in the Item Detail form.
Vendor ID and Vendor Item Number have been added as search / sort fields. The columns are not normally visible in the grid, but when you TAB through the columns the Vendor ID and Vendor Item Number columns will become visible when you reach them.
