(2022.1) Vendor Tabs
- Brian Dixon
The tabs that appear in the Vendor form can be used to input as much Vendor information as the User desires.
If a tab is marked as having a Required field, open that tab enter information in the field.
Once all required fields have been filled, click the button at the bottom of the Vendor form. The new Vendor appears on the Vendor Grid and elsewhere in the application when a User is prompted to define a Vendor.
Contact tab
Contact
The 'Contact' tab provides the User the ability to associate Contacts with a specific Vendor. The User can manually manage these associations by using the Add, Add Existing, and Delete Selected functionality available on the Contact tab.
Adding New Contacts
After clicking on the 
button, the User is presented with a data-entry form used to build a basic Contact: First and Last Name, Email and Phone Number. Adding a new Contact here will create a new record in the Workers/Contacts section of the application as well as an association record for the Vendor.
Adding Existing Contacts
After clicking the 
button, a list of existing Contacts is presented. Searching through this list and selecting multiple entries will allow the User to add all the required contacts. Select each of the Contacts that need to be associated with the Vendor and click the 'Save and Close' button.
Deleting an Association
Selecting the 
button from this grid does not delete the Contact entry it merely removes the association from the Vendor.
Address tab

button.
From the Select an Existing Address form, a User can select any Address that has been entered into PCR-360. Clicking the 
button after an Address is selected, will update the Vendor.
Create/Change Address
When "Create/Change Address" is selected, the Address tab becomes fully editable. If an Address is selected from the
