How do I add a vendor in the 3PL Client Portal?

Everything you'll need to know about adding, editing, or deleting Vendors in the 3PL Client Portal.

Managing vendors in the 3PL Client Portal is very straightforward. On the left-hand menu bar, click Purchasing > Vendor Management. Here you can see existing vendors by clicking Apply. To add a new vendor, click Add.

You are now in the Vendor Management Screen. You will note that the Process Mode is currently set to Add. While in Add mode, you can enter in all the vendor's information. Note: Vendor # is where you can name your vendor internally (e.g., ABCMan). In the Vendor Name field, you can add their actual name (e.g., ABC Manufacturing.). You will also determine the Vendor Type (see: what are the vendor types).

Warning: If the Vendor # field is left blank, DB will assign a sequence number to that vendor that you can use going forward. We highly recommend against this as the sequence number will be hard to recognize going forward.

In the General section, click Show More.

This will show you all of the additional fields shown below in the boxes.

Caution: There are certain characters that will not be accepted in a Vendor #:

? | % | , | & | = | ' | " | \ | leading space | multiple continuous spaces

Best practice is to only use letters and numbers in Vendor #s. However, there are some characters that you can use.

Characters that will be accepted: 

- | _ | $ | # | @ | !

Addresses is for additional address information (e.g., if billing and shipping are different, if a vendor has multiple warehouses, etc.). Each address must be assigned an Address Code and a Type. Click the plus sign on the left to expand the address information. Click the minus sign to collapse it. See below for the expanded view. 

Note: Clicking Save Address in the expanded view will save changes make to that address but will not save any other changes made on the vendor record. It is not required to click Save Address here if you click Save in the upper right-hand corner.

Once you have added all the information needed for your new vendor, click Save in the upper right-hand corner.

Click Yes.
