Vendor can be classified as a Preferred Vendor if they are a business that your organization prefers to work with.
These vendors are displayed to requesters when adding items to an Order Request. This encourages requesters to request items from vendors that you prefer to work with.
Vendors not classified as Preferred will not show in this list. If a vendor is not found in this list, Requesters will need to select Other to suggest a new Vendor. Vendor Creation can be disabled.
Checkout and PunchOut Suppliers cannot be selected as preferred vendors as the method for adding items is different for CheckOut/PunchOut suppliers and does not utilize the pop-up window shown above.
