Vendor information can be added into your CoreBridge system. This will also allow you to associate specific vendor pricing to the parts within your system, and allow system users with Purchasing Module access to search vendor information and vendor contact details. It'll also allow you to create and manage Purchase Orders.


NOTE:  Vendors can be managed through the Purchasing Module > Vendors. The Purchasing Module is not available with all packages.
