• The 'Vendor' tab - provides the ability to add, delete, and modify the vendors that are associated to the product.

The availability of menu items is controlled by privileges that are assigned to each user, so the 'Navigation Menu' will not look the same for all users.

• Vendors are automatically associated to products when the product is added to a purchase order for the vendor.  Although this relationship may be invalid, there is currently no functionality that permits the User to delete the incorrect relationship.
• When the vendor-product relationship is established, various attributes are saved.  The 'Vendor' tab provides a view to most of these attributes; however, the vendor's order unit cost, last updated date, and last updated by (User) is not displayed.

1. Delete a vendor from the product
   1. The vendor-product relationship, represented on this tab, is created when the product is added to a purchase order for the vendor.  If the product is removed from the purchase order, or cancelled during inventory receiving, the vendor-product relationship is left behind.  As long as the vendor is not the default vendor for the product, and they are not a valid vendor for the product (associated to a purchase order that has not been cancelled), the vendor can be deleted from this tab.
2. View additional details about the vendor-product relationship
   1. Additional columns will provide the following information about the product and vendor relationship:
      1. Order Unit Cost - the cost of one order unit as charged by the vendor on the latest purchase order.
      2. Last Updated Date - the date that the vendor-product record was updated.
      3. Last Update By - the username of the User who last updated the vendor-product record.
