Vendor Update Screen Explained

Main Menu > Price Codes section > Update Vendor Pricing button

Of the vendors you have installed, lists only those with an available update (note the check in the box).

Lists all of the vendors who provide a MSRP matrix (manufacturer’s suggested retail price). The price is based on the UI.
In FrameReady 10 these codes have been incorporated into the Codes table (in earlier versions these were kept in separate databases inaccessible to the framer.)
Update Canadian Vendor Codes - A pricing option only available to Canadians is to utilize a vendor pricing matrix. The matrix specifies a retail price based on a code which has been assigned to a moulding profile (E.g., LW4 refers to a Larson Juhl code 4 for wood moulding). The code relates to a matrix which specifies a retail price at given UI increments. Vendor-supplied matrixes are updated periodically by Adatasol Inc. and can be updated from the Update Vendor Pricing screen if your Annual Service Subscription/Membership is active.

Displays any important notices or changes regarding individual vendors.
When necessary, Adatasol Inc. will post a note regarding one of the vendor updates. A notification symbol or icon on the tab will indicate that there is a new note (with the most current note at the top.) For example, a vendor may have changed moulding numbers thus creating a conflict with existing numbers; a note would explain how to resolve the issue.
