Vendor Contracts

Use this form to associate items with vendors. You can enter more than one item per vendor. This reference also contains information about the item that is vendor-specific, such as the following:

• Vendor's lead time
• The cost from the vendor
• The amount purchased from the vendor
• The last time the vendor completed an order
• Whether the item is available for a Master Buy Agreement

From this form, you can access the Vendor Contract Prices form to view and enter landed cost charges as well as quantity price break information.

Once a new vendor contract exists with a unique vendor part number, purchase orders that include this item are shown during the purchase order receiving and Generate A/P Transactions processes.

You also can use this form to give vendors the ability to firm planned orders (PLNs) using the Vendor Portal Planned Orders page.
