General tab

The General tab displays the general information about the Vendor grouped in the following sections:

Upper-left unnamed section - displays the ID, status, and name of the Vendor. The Manager record displays the name of the Person selected as the Vendor manager. When the manager is chosen, you can open his or her Person record by clicking the hyperlinked field label. The referenced object will appear in a fly-out preview form. To access its full form, click the field label with the wheel mouse button, or click the Edit icon in the fly-out preview form. The object record will be opened in a new tab.

Categorization section - shows the type and category of the Vendor. The lists of types and categories are configured by your Alloy Navigator administrator. The Preferred check box shows whether the Vendor is preferred over others.

Right unnamed section - displays various contact information of the Vendor: contact person, FEIN, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers, web page and postal address.

The General tab may also display various user-defined fields in an additional section if your Alloy Navigator administrator has configured them accordingly. The default name of this section is "Custom Data", although your Alloy Navigator administrator may have renamed this section.

NOTE: User-defined fields can appear also on the Custom Data tab (this is the default name of the tab; it can be renamed by your Alloy Navigator administrator).
