The Purchase Parts facility provides links between Parts and Suppliers (or Vendors). Any number of unique Part-Supplier relationships can exist. i.e. A part can have any number of supplier’s details listed. However only one supplier can be the primary supplier (see Parts topic for more details).
Data can be entered directly to create a Part-Supplier relationship. However, when a part is received into stock that is subject to a purchase order, the data contained in the order is optionally automatically entered into the Part-Supplier relationship. If one does not exist, a record is created. This process is controlled by a System Preferences option and an individual control on each Purchase Order line item.
When a Purchase Order is being created the purchasing details from the Part-Supplier relationship are provided as default information for the order. This can be edited at the time. In this way maintenance of supplier information is conveniently maintained.
