When you are looking at an item in the Vendor Catalog screen, you are seeing it as it appears in the actual vendor's catalog―prior to the item being converted to an xTuple item. To view details of any vendor item prior to converting, highlight the desired item and click the VIEW button in the lower right of the Vendor Catalog screen. The following screenshot shows a sample vendor item:
As you can see, the screen includes detailed item data, as well as images and spec sheets for the item. The item images and spec sheets will also be included if and when you decide to convert a vendor catalog item to an xTuple item. Clicking the CLOSE button returns you to the External Vendor Catalog Search screen where the item may be converted.
