Even more detailed information about the vendor can be accessed directly from this screen through the Vendor Info button.
(1) Add, Edit, Delete - To add a vendor for the highlighted inventory item; to change the vendor SKU or vendor Cost; to remove a vendor as a source for the item.
(2) Vendor SKU - Last Cost - Last Purchased - The vendor SKU will print on purchase orders to assure that the vendor knows precisely which item you want to purchase. Each vendor will have its own vendor SKU. The Last Purchased and Last Cost value will be updated as items are received on purchase orders.
