A multi-vendor does not represent a real vendor but a place holder and is meant to be used for multi-vendor/blanket purchase orders. When invoicing a multi-vendor purchase order the user must change the vendor number to a valid USAS vendor (non multi-vendor). A vendor must always be a multi-vendor (or not multi-vendor). The system will not allow a user to change classifications once created.The user has the ability to
move from one vendor to another without leaving the query screen by clicking on the vendor number to display the record and using the next and previous buttons along the top and bottom of the display. The vendor list to scroll through using the next and previous buttons is dependent on the users latest vendor query. Along with moving from one record to another you can do so in a particular ‘lock mode’ such as edit. This will allow the user to keep editing vendors without having to press ‘edit’ again and again and also allow the user to bypass vendors that do not need edited by clicking on ‘next’. Once the user makes a change to a vendor record they will be required to ‘save’ or ‘undo’ before moving to the next. If the user makes a change and does not click on ‘save’ or ‘undo’ a box will appear stating that a change was made. The user then has the option of continuing, which will move to the next vendor without saving the changes, or the user can cancel to continue editing the current vendor record and ‘save’ the changes before moving on. Any warnings that happen during a particular save will be displayed on the screen but will not prevent posting. Errors will be displayed and must be corrected before updating the record. To navigate back to the list of query results the user will click on 'List'See Previous/Next Navigation for details on navigating inside of the Vendor option.
