Charge Master II window has a Purchase tab where you can set and view purchase order prices for products according to the suppliers this product has. Suppliers that appear here can be imported, added automatically from purchase orders or added manually in this same tab. In addition, you can set one of these suppliers as the Current vendor for this warehouse product but now, only one supplier can be assigned as the Current (main) vendor :
If you try to add a new supplier, try not to check the Current vendor box before saving unless you want to uncheck the current vendor for this product or you will see the following error message :
If you want to replace the current vendor, go to the supplier record for the vendor that you wish to replace as the current vendor. Here, you must uncheck the Current vendor box and Save changes :
Now, create a new record and enter the company information for the vendor you wish to have as the new current supplier and check the Current vendor box. Once completing, click on Save.
You will see a confirmation message :
Notes :
If you completed any material reception for products with a different supplier than their current vendor, this supplier will no longer be set automatically as current vendor.
If you import a list of vendors by using the Import product costs based in current vendor format from Import File Loader and any of these vendors has the Current Vendor check enabled (Y), this vendor will replace the current vendor for the given product. If more than one vendor has it, only the first one will be taken as the new current vendor. If we import a list of vendors but none has the current vendor check, we will keep any existing current vendor as the valid current vendor.
See example :
We imported a new product list price where the given company will be its current vendor :
This check (Y) must be kept on Import File Loader format :
And in Import Costs based in current vendor window :
After processing the product import, this supplier will be a new Current vendor for the product :
We hope this improves your Cirrus experience. Remember to share this information and ask for help if you need it.
