Associating Vendors to Parts allows you to enter certain Vendor information on individual Parts, including Vendor Name, Vendor Part Number, and purchasing information. Purchasing information is used to calculate costs. An average cost can be calculated if multiple Vendors are associated with a Part. These calculated costs can optionally be used as your part's base cost.  

If the Purchasing Module is not included in your CoreBridge package, you can still create Vendors in the Management Module when associating them with parts. Vendors added there will also appear in the Purchasing Module once available. For information on enabling the Purchasing Module, please contact support@corebridge.net.

For more information on Vendors, please see Creating and Managing Vendors.

Associating Vendors to Parts

Navigate to Management Module / Parts / Parts Manage and select the appropriate Part.

1. Click Associate Vendor

2. Type the Vendor name, select from the dropdown, or click the magnifying glass to search.

Note: Clicking the plus button will allow you to create and associate a new Vendor.

3. If entering multiple Vendors, select the preferred one.

4. Enter all Vendor information for the Part.

Note: If you enter a Vendor Part Number or a Vendor Price here, it will auto-populate when creating Vendor Purchase Orders.

5. Click Connect to Part Base Cost if desired.

Note: This will replace the part cost you have already entered with the Vendor cost shown here. Leaving the box unchecked will not change the price.

Note: For Parts with multiple Vendors, clicking Connect to Part Base Cost on each vendor will connect an average cost to the part.

6. Click Save & Close.
