Inventory Manufacturer

  Manufacturer

Manufacturer is an optional setup table; however it is highly recommended that your company utilize the functionality of assigning a Manufacturer to each unique inventory part.  When a User is creating a new part number, the Manufacturer is a selectable field on the Part data entry form.  If your company is using QuoteWerks, this is a required data entry field for Part setup.  When searching for Inventory Parts the User may use the Manufacturer as a filter.

To create a new Manufacturer record, press the New button at the bottom of the form.  Enter the Manufacturer name (may be an abbreviation if this is a long name) of up to 25 characters, then press the tab key on your keyboard.  The information entered into the Manufacturer field will automatically fill into the Description field; the User may modify the Description if needed.

If a Manufacturer is no longer going to be used, double-click on the Manufacturer in the list, then in the lower area of the form select the Inactive checkbox then press the Save button.  Any parts linked to this manufacturer will remain linked, however this Manufacturer will no longer display in drop-down lists for selection.

A Manufacturer record may be deleted only if it is not linked to any part records.
