Why can't I add a vendor to an order item
Answer:
The list of vendors displayed when adding items to an order request is curated by your Procurement team.
If the Vendor you wish to request items from is not on the list, select Other and enter the name of the Vendor.
How to add a Vendor when submitting a Request for Order:
Click + New request in the top bar and select Order
Click + Add new item
From the Preferred vendors, drop-down select Other
The Vendor Name field will appear beside Preferred vendors. Type in the name of the new Vendor.
Ensure the Vendor does not already appear in the list before using this option.

If the Other option is unavailable, your organization has disabled vendor creation - contact your organization's account administrator for more details.
