Since the entrée system allows for many vendors to be assigned to a single item, a primary or default vendor can also be defined. Under normal operation the first vendor listed in the vendor grid is considered to be the primary vendor. Any vendor that has been specifically designated the primary vendor will have an asterisk * to the left of the Vendor # column.

 

Any vendor listed in the vendor grid may be designated the primary vendor by entering the desired vendor number in the Primary Vendor field.

 

By default the Ré4 Reporting system uses the primary vendor when filtering results, but it can be configured to scan all vendors regardless of which one is the primary.
