Vendors

A summary of Supplier and Service Provider details is displayed within the Vendor List.

The following types of Vendors are defined within the system:

• Service Provider: Vendors who supply a service and whose details are used within the Underpinning Contracts functionality of the application

• Supplier: Vendors who provide goods to the organization and whose details are used within the Purchase Order functionality of the application.  This may differ from the Manufacturer of an Item, as the Supplier may not necessarily be the company that makes the Item.
