Assign secondary buy lines to a product to purchase it from vendors offering the product in generic brands or as commodity type items. By purchasing a product in this way, you can contribute towards meeting each of the associated vendor's targets.
To assign secondary buy lines to a product:
From the Maintenance menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance window.
Display the product to which to assign secondary buy lines.
From the Additional Data menu, select Secondary Buy Lines to display the Product Buy Line Maintenance window.
In the Buy Line column, enter the secondary buy line to assign to the product.
In the Buy Package (<unit of measure>) column, enter the buy package quantity integral in which the product is purchased within the buy line.
For example:
If set to 6, the product is purchased in quantities of 6, 12, 18, 24, and so forth.
In the Divisible column, select the check box to permit the product to be purchased in an amount less than the vendor's buy package quantity; otherwise leave it blank.
Repeat steps 4-6 for each secondary buy line to assign to the product.
Note: To re-sequence one of the buy lines, click the Sequence button.
