What are Vendors?

Definition

To fulfil their requirement of fleet vehicles, client organisation needs suppliers who can provide them with these vehicles. These suppliers are referred to as Vendors. We have a separate master to maintain all the vendor details and it also a pre-requisite to add a vehicle in Vehicle master.

How to use

Add a Vendor by navigating to Setup > Assets > Transport > Vendor > Add New

Users will be required to fill a form where they will have to put necessary details such as:

  1. Vendor Name - The pretty name of the vendor they want to add to their organisation

  2. Vendor Code - The unique code of the vendor they want to add to their organisation

  3. Contact Number - The contact details/phone number of the vendor

  4. Vendor Priority - The priority assigned to the vendor which the system will use to allocate CNs

  5. Vendor Type

Mapping a Vendor when Adding/Updating Vehicles

When adding a new vehicle or updating an existing vehicle, users can use it as an opportunity to map that particular vehicle to a vendor that they have setup in their organisation. To do so, users must select the relevant Vendor Name from the dropdown when adding or updating vehicles in setup.
