Vendor Cost Records
Vendor Cost Records are utilized in Gravity's procurement process to effectively manage purchasing information based on the vendor and item. These records are automatically generated upon item purchase and contain detailed information regarding the specific item acquired from a particular vendor.

In the Entity Configuration the Vendor cost records can be used to limit the Items purchased to only those Vendors that have already been set up for an Item with a Vendor Cost record. In this case the Vendor Cost records must be initialized first.
