Manufacturers can be assigned to items when ordering or in the Item History screen.

Manufacturers are stored in Item History so you can track the different manufacturers you buy a quantity item from.

Manufacturer numbers can be cross referenced to item numbers and used in the fast entry, orders and count or verify screens.

Manufacturers can be imported.
