Adding a Vendor and configuring for use with WHI Nexpart

Order Parts Through NexPart
Once NexPart credentials are associated with a vendor, whenever you create a new order for that vendor, NexPart will automatically launch and host a session for the order (or quote). It will also launch whenever you select eCommerce when ordering parts.
NexPart hosts individual sessions for each vendor. If you click "eComm,” the program will launch each vendor in their own tab, so you can compare across vendors.
Once you've finished shopping on NexPart, you can send the parts information back as either a "Quote" or an "Order."
If you order from within an RO, the part will be placed into the RO from where the order originated.
If you place the order through the Parts tab, it will place the order into your Inventory table as a stock part.
The Purchase Order will be created for you as well. Be sure to receive the order in your account to create the Purchase Record.
