The following fields are defined for the Quantities tab.

Vendor ID

Each master vendor record must be assigned a unique identifier (ID). This identifier is used throughout acquisitions and serials WorkFlows to help you quickly identify the vendor. The ID may be up to 20 characters long. For instance, Baker & Taylor might be referred to as BAKER. Publishers have an international standard number (the first digits of the ISBN) assigned to them and the library might want to use this as the vendor ID. For example, the vendor ID for Pierian Press might be 87650.

Note: Vendor IDs must not contain spaces.

Vendor Name

The vendor name is a description of the vendor ID. For example, the vendor ID BAKER could be defined in the name field as Baker & Taylor.
