Manufacturer Groups
Use the Manufacturer Groups screen to associate specific groups of part Types to a Vendor/Sale Account for the PAR206 report. Once associated with a Sale Account and/or Vendor, the PAR206 report includes an extra section for the selected groupings. For example, if Sale Account 32001 has Type Range A-B configured for vendor DEERE and Type Range C-Z configured for vendor DEEREA, the PAR206 report includes two extra sections for Sale Account 32001/DEERE and Sale Account 32001/DEEREA.
Note: The PAR206 report is generated during the parts month end process if the Parts Month End field is set to print on the System Settings: Company screen.
