Vendor

The Vendor tab on the RQ Transaction Type lists suggested Vendors for providing the goods/services. These vendors are only suggested vendors and may or may not be the actual vendor that is awarded the procurement. Vendors are selected from a pick list that is populated by the Vendor/Customer table. This tab is optional and more than one vendor can be added as the suggested vendor.
