You will need to setup a Vendor Ref code for every manufacturer you could possibly order from by following the below steps:
Go to Tools > Configure >
...
Vendor Ref
...
Codes
...
Ensure you are on the "Create New" tab and select either Project Spec or 20/20 Worksheet
...
Once you've selected your Manufacturer it will auto-fill the Vendor Ref Code on the right panel (it should also auto-fill the Manufacturer drop down but can be adjusted if necessary - this is what would show on your quote if you selected to "Show MFG" in your quote settings)
...
Continue to fill in the remaining drop downs as well as your lowest discount you would receive from the Manufacturer (you can only assign one discount at this level and would act as a safety net to ensure you are capturing the worst discount then at time of acknowledgement if discount is deeper your margins would only go up instead of possibly down) then select Save
...
**All Vendor Ref Codes that have been setup will now show under the "Edit Existing" tab if any updates are required
MFG Codes (Vendor Product Codes)
Remember this step is only necessary if the Manufacturer was not in the Vendor Ref Code Setup List. You can however update your MFG Discounts per MFG Code if necessary (reminder: once you begin to Import parts into the BOM it will auto add the applicable MFG code to the below list). To setup a new MFG Code follow the below steps:
Go to Tools > Configure >
...
Vendor Product Codes
...
Select New > Assign MFG Code > Fill in Remaining Drop Downs (Manufacturer is a free-form field) > Fill in MFG Discount if Necessary > Vendor Ref Code should be the same as your MFG Code and Select Save
...
*You can return to this window and double click on any MFG Code to make any necessary changes
