Creating purchase orders from the vendor catalog

A vendor catalog is always available for all Datamoto account. In the vendor catalog, you can maintain the preferred vendors for an inventory item and vendor-specific item code, description, and price. A vendor catalog provides an easy way to order items from the vendors. This way you can hide the exact vendor item code and description from your end customers.

To enable the vendor catalog in the Datamoto, click Inventory and then click on the Setting as shown below.

Then set the vendor catalog to enable it:

Your vendor catalog is ready. Now, simply click on the “edit” link for each inventory item to view and edit your vendor catalog.

At the bottom of the screen, you can view existing vendor items. You can add more or edit the existing one.

When you create your purchase orders, you can select items from the vendor catalog. When you are adding line items in a purchase order, it allows searching items in both inventory and vendor catalog.

By default, clicking search will give you a list of items from inventory. Click on the “Get from the vendor catalog” to get the item list from the vendor.
