Vendor Overview

Vendor records are used to record details of Library suppliers, such as bookshops, publishers, binders, other libraries etc.

The types of vendors are determined by the ‘VendorType’ Managed List. These types can be changed according to your particular needs.

Information stored on the Vendor record includes contact details, delivery address, account number, ABN, Internet and e-mail address as well as a summary of current orders placed with the supplier.

You can email or access a web site from the Vendor Display screen by clicking on the hypertext field labels adjacent to the Email and Internet text boxes.

Vendor records are linked to catalogue records when placing acquisition orders. A summary of order records associated with a Vendor is displayed on the Vendor Display screen.

The full order and catalogue record associated with a summary order record displayed in the Current Orders window on the Vendor Display screen are accessed via a right mouse click menu option on that section of the screen.
