Vendors is your company’s supplier address book: the chemical distributors, parts suppliers, equipment dealers and subcontractors you buy from. Each vendor record holds the business name, your contact there, and how to reach them, so anyone in the office can look a supplier up without leaving PSS.
Vendors also connect to the Catalog (section 12). Every catalog item has an optional Vendor field, so you can record where you source each product and see it in the Catalog’s Vendor column. That is the only place vendors are used elsewhere in PSS today — a vendor record does not create purchase orders, and the Shopping List (section 14) does not group by vendor.
Note: Vendors is available to the Admin, Manager, Company Admin and Company Manager roles. Technicians do not see it, and vendor details are not shown in the mobile app. The entry disappears from the sidebar while your subscription is expired and returns when it is renewed.
