Figure 7.8
The Manufactured Part is now added to the part.
To add a
supplier (vendor) to the manufacturer you need to make the manufacturer part
active, then drag and drop a supplier onto the Suppliers tab on the
Manufacturer Part object.
See below after the ‘drag and drop’ or you may click the Add button on the supplier tab. The Order Number is a required field. It needs to be filled in after you’ve added the supplier.
Note: a manufacturer is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or company that makes the part. The supplier is the entity which sells and delivers the part to the customer.
