Using the Inventory Preferred Vendor Field

An inventory items preferred vendor field is used:

1.	When categorizing inventory for inventory reports.

2.	To determine a purchase order's vendor when auto-generating purchase orders .

This preferred vendor field does not change even if the item is received from a different vendor. If you are receiving an item from multiple vendors and are interested in finding out what items have been received from which vendor over a particular time period, you should run a historical receiving report.
