If Vended Products are enabled in the Management Module, you can mark a product as Vended while creating an Order or Estimate. For more information on the Management Module settings, please see Enabling Vended Products.  

To ensure accurate Vendor History and correct Vended Margins in your Reports, you’ll need to enter both the Vendor Pricing Information and the desired Markup. When this feature is selected, it overrides the default Part Price configured in the Management Module. Vendor product details will not appear on the Customer’s Invoice or Estimate.
