Definition

Vendors are the organizational units that deliver merchandise to sites or customers (the latter is possible in wholesale, for example, if a third-party arrangement exists). These vendors are normally external suppliers.

Integration

Whether sites exist as vendors in the system depends on the site category: Stores are not defined as vendors but distribution centers usually are, because a DC has a vendor function from the point of view of stores.

If returns from a site to a vendor are to be processed with the aid of Sales and Distribution documents, the vendor must also be created as a customer in the system. This will apply if delivery documents are to be generated and billed in the system for returns from a distribution center to a vendor, for instance.
