Vendors – 01 – Vendors

Figure 1: Control Panel Menu – Vendors

You can manage your approved vendor list in PLANERGY. Only vendors on that list will be available to select when creating a purchase order. Specific users can be given permission to manage this list so you know only vendors authorized by the correct people will be used for creating orders.

You can also manage catalogues for the supplier in the Items section of the system. This is covered in more detail in the Items section of this guide.

From the main page of the Vendors section you can view, edit or add new vendors. Depending on your permissions you may not see all of these options.
