This screen allows you to add or edit manufacturer names to a master list. 

The Manufacturer list is used to ensure that information on your Products records are correct and consistent, especially if you are a member of a co-op or buying group that supplies electronic product information that is imported into RFMS. 

To add a manufacturer name, click the Insert button .  You can then select an existing name from your Supplier file, or you may enter a new one manually. 

You can also print a manufacturer list by selecting the printer button  that is located on the toolbar.

Manufacturer Information

This screen allows you to enter or edit information specific about a manufacturer. 

It is recommended that a manufacturer is entered only once and with accuracy.  When you save this information, you create a record in the Manufacturer file.  The Manufacturer file is then used to insert the Manufacturer name into other areas of the system, such as Inventory, Purchase Order, and Products.  You can protect the Manufacturer name from misspellings by setting the option Utilities>System Options>System Wide>General>Manufacturer from Manufacturer File Only to yes.  If product information is imported using electronic files, this option should be set yes.  Type in the main name and address information on the left side.  If the Payee is the same as the manufacturer name and address, click the copy button  .  Otherwise, enter the payee information on the right side.  When importing a record from the supplier file, the account number and email address are automatically imported if available in the supplier file.
