Vendor analysis data
You can determine which vendor to use for an item. Information about vendors is calculated from the past performance of the vendor for the selected item. When you review vendor analysis data, you can select a primary vendor for an item. You can also choose the storerooms that use the primary vendor when ordering an item.
The following table provides a description of the values in the fields. All values are for a selected item, for a selected vendor, and where the manufacturer, model number, and catalog numbers are the same.
