Vendors are now created on-the- fly as you require them.
Appears on the Add/Edit a Shipment screen.
When you click this new service from either button you are immediately taken to a screen that displays ALL vendors from your site. You are asked to confirm that the Vendor does not already exist. If it does you simply highlight the vendor and click Use Vendor. If not select Create Vendor and you will get an entirely new Create Vendor screen. Fill in the information, Company Name, City and State are required. These two additional values help keep the vendor distinct and they will be display in the drop downs when you are selecting a vendor.
The vendor type is now automatically assigned to the vendor n the create sequence. For a shipping carrier you will need to go to the Vendors Company Page if you want to have them available for more than one carrier type in your drop downs.
This change to the vendor create sequence is in preparation to some significant upgrades to budget Split and Payment split reporting tools that will come on line over the next few weeks.
HAVE A WONDERFUL JULY 4th CELEBRATION!
Note: You will still edit information about the Vendor Company such as address and default contacts by going through Administration > Companies. Where you select the desired vendor and click edit.
