Vendor Contracts

The Vendor Contracts tab displays information about contracts (blanket purchase orders) the organization has with vendors who supply the part. The contracts that display have amounts remaining above zero.

Tip: To display stock and other information for a part, you must specify the part ID, location ID, and quantity required in the filter. If you specify a cross-reference part ID and the system cannot find it, it searches for and displays the applicable system part ID.

The Stock Check screen supports location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations to make changes or updates.
