IVVM - Add/Change/Delete Vendors

1. Vendors that you use to supply your inventory need to be setup in Bookstore Manager.

2. Several vendors are already setup for you. You will need to add your account number and edit the miscellaneous options. To make these changes, type in IVVM and then type in the number assigned to that vendor and make any needed changes. You can get a listing of setup vendors by pressing the <F1> key and typing in the name. You may also delete any vendors you will not need by bringing them up and choosing delete.

3. If you are setting up an additional vendor, type in IVVM and a screen asking for a vendor number will come up. Type in the number you want to assign to the vendor. The number can be any number between 001 and 999 and not already being used. Type in the information needed for the vendor: Name, Account #, Order Address, City, State and Zip code, Return Address, City, State and Zip code, Daily Discount, Miscellaneous information, Sales Telephone number, Customer Service #, Fax number, and Contact person. Enter the Buyer name, SAN #, Shipping instructions, ISBN code, Electronic Order type, A/P Vendor, Substitution, Special Codes, Back Order instructions, and Abbreviation. Fill in the next screen if SAS information is needed for the vendor. (Whitaker, Nelson/Word, Provident Music which was formally Brentwood, Benson, Reunion) Press <F4> and (S)ave.

4. You may print a list of Vendors on your system by entering IVPP.

5. Each of the vendor numbers will have to be set up in the PUBS data base program if they have a PUBS abbreviation found in Spring Arbor’s catalogue or microfiche. A list of abbreviation is also found in the back of the Reference Manual. To do this, type PUBS. Type in the abbreviation assigned by Spring Arbor for that vendor, then type in the number you assigned that vendor. To save this change press S to save. This ties the data base items to your vendor numbers. When an item is pulled from the database to your inventory or to a special order, the vendor number where you can order the item will be brought over to your inventory or to the special order and put in the Vendor 1 field.
