Vendors can be assigned to individual assets to provide information, where the asset was either manufactured or procured from. A vendor offers additional information about how to contact the vendor or how to prepare a Return Merchandise Authorization.

Vendors are assigned to an asset using the field Vendor. This field is a default field which can not be removed from the list of asset fields. However, you can assign or remove this field from certain asset types in order to have the vendor information available.

The following fields can be set up for a vendor:

• Name: The name of the vendor, used when selecting the vendor in the asset

• Email: A contact email to get in touch with the vendor

• Phone: A phone number to get in touch with the vendor

• Fax: A fax number to get in touch with the vendor

• Address: The postal address of the vendor

• Icon: An optional icon to distinguish the vendor visually

• RMA: Information about how to procure the Return Merchandise Authorization
