Topic Overview
Purpose This topic explains how to view and manage Vendors.
Introduction Vendors are suppliers or businesses that provide products or services to stores. Vendors are typically the manufacturers, wholesalers, or distributors from which inventory is purchased.

Maintaining accurate supplier information is critical for efficient processing of purchase orders. Vendor management within Skuttlefish allows for the maintenance of all supplier information so that Vendor profiles and contact information are up-to-date. Vendors can be linked to SKUs to aid in restocking of product listings more effectively. Vendor records in Skuttlefish also include purchase order templates that are useful for creating actual purchase orders when inventory restocking is needed.
