Add New Vendor

Click on the New Vendor button. Add the vendor contact information and click Save.

Assign Each Product to a Vendor

Assign each product to a vendor through the AShop admin panel Edit Catalog menu. Click on the edit

button for each product. When at least one vendor has been added, there will be a drop-down selector in

each product page. Select a vendor and save the product.

Note that products are not required to be assigned to a vendor. All active products will appear in the

shopping cart regardless of their vendor relationship. The vendor assignment simply enables automation

within the Sales Office. For example, when an order is received and it includes products that are

assigned to a vendor, the order will appear in Vendors > Open Orders with an option to automatically

generate a purchase order, filled in with the vendor, customer, and product information. Example 2:

When manually creating purchase orders the vendor products are selectively displayed depending on

which vendor the purchase order will be sent to.
