The "Item Sources" screen lists all your company's Item Sources. An Item Source makes the link between an Item you stock and the Vendor who sells it to you. You must define Item Sources to take advantage of many of xTuple's purchasing features—including Purchase Requests, Drop Shipping, and releasing Planned Orders from the Schedule Module. In addition to providing the complete list of Item Sources, this screen can also be used to build detailed Item Source reports. Use the search filter options to sort the information into Item Source categories you want to look at.
Here are some tips for using this screen:
Use the right-click menu to edit an Item Source in the list.
Don't confuse Item Sites and Item Sources. An Item Site links an Item to the Site where it is located in your Inventory. Item Sources, on the other hand, define the relationship between your Items and the Vendor who sells them to you.
The search filter allows you to group Item Sources by Item or Vendor.
