APVNM.VMR Vendor Master Report Writer

Introduction

This Vendor report is an IRW report (IRW Documentation) and gives you the option to build and sort your Vendor list. This is not used very often as the vendor grid is a user-friendly way to view all of your vendors and their information. The grid can also easily be exported to Excel, where this report has an option to export into a comma delimited file.

With this report, you can customize the columns of information based on the criteria in the sort field.
