The system supports a vendor structure to determine the primary vendor for a given product. Products are assigned to a singular vendor which could be the manufacturer, distributor, or brand.
Use vendors to sort products, apply vendor-based promotions, or customize the feature to integrate vendors with the company ERP.
Note
Creating a vendor and assigning it to a product does not trigger logic without developer customizations.
