Maintaining Unique Vendors

In order to process only these Norman products via Online Order Processing (OOP), a unique vendor without OOP-capability has been assigned to the remainder of the Norman products.  

The non-OOP vendor was designated with "(PDF)" as a way to identify the method to process those purchase orders.   


Norman Vendor for OOP is below.



Norman Vendor non-OOP is below.


  • NOTE:  There is no OOP information, and no account number entered for this vendor.



  • In Product Manager, below, It shows which vendor is assigned to each product.
  • To get to Product Manager, go to the Maintenance tab, and click on Product Manager on the left side.




Processing the Purchase Orders

Both the OOP-enabled and non-OOP Norman vendors will appear in the Send for Purchasing window.  The Norman Window Fashions (PDF) products will appear on the Manual tab of the Send for Purchasing window.  


The picture below shows the Norman Window Fashions purchase orders on the 'Online Order Processing' tab.  Only the products that can be sent OOP will appear here.


This picture shows the Norman Window Fashions (PDF) purchase orders on the 'Manual' tab.  These purchase orders cannot be sent electronically.


If you attempt, with a Norman Window Fashions (PDF) product, to 'Send Electronically' it will be interrupted.  The software will inform you that it is unable to send the PO because no account number has been assigned to that vendor.



If you click the Review button to the right of "Unable to Send", the PDF of the Purchase Order will be previewed, with reasons it can't be sent to the left.



Instead of using the "Send Electronically" choice, choose "Vendor has the Purchase Order".  This will mark the PO as sent.
