Link AQ Manufacturer with TRX Vendors

Table of Contents

Overview

For the AQ interface to work properly, you will need your AQ manufacturers linked to your TRX Vendors. We start by creating the Manufacturer (AQ Vendor #) under INV and Vendor (TRX Vendor #) under A/P, then we link them up using the Cross-Reference table under P/A.
