Vendor Module

The Vendor Management module tracks information on vendors that includes contact information, verification of a vendor's certification as an approved service provider, the category of product they provide, discrepancy tracking and corrective action measures taken on a vendor. A variety of reports include an approved vendor list, vendor summaries, vendor analyses, discrepancy log, approval letter, corrective action letter and a drop letter.

Maintaining Letters

There are three template letters provided in the Vendor Management module -- a letter informing a vendor that they have been identified as an approved service provider, a letter to a vendor requesting a corrective action plan and a letter informing a vendor that due to discrepancy issues, they have been dropped as an approved service provider.

The Maintain Letters page enables you to customize the verbiage on these letters. Default text is in place when your system is installed but you may want to make modifications.

Reports

There are seven standardized reports available in the Vendor Management module. These reports can be accessed from the Reports link on the Vendor Management menu.
