Setting up your Suppliers to Vendors

In order to use FrameReady as an ordering tool (for Purchase Orders) you must identify your suppliers and the products you order from them.

In other words, all your suppliers must have a record created in the Contacts file. Linking a Supplier to a Vendor permits the creation of Purchase Orders.

Set the Supplier to be provided by your Vendor

  1. Click on the Order From sidebar button.

    A dialog box appears for all groups except Supplies.

  1. Select the Supplier (of the framing material) to whom you wish to link a Vendor (from whom you purchase). Supplier can be a manufacturer or a local distributor.

    For example, order your Bainbridge matboard from Happy Framer Supply Co.

  2. Choose the vendor from whom you wish to order in Order From field. Vendor information and account # must have been entered in the Contacts file first before it appears on this list.

    Otherwise, use the New Vendor button to create a new Contact record.

  3. Click Apply.

    All records matching the Supplier are assigned the ID# associated with the vendor in the Order From field. The vendor name appears on the Auto Inv tab.
