Notes

To action a previously created item, select the item and click the desired mode: Edit, Copy, or Delete.
The Vendor Part Description field is used on purchase orders sent to the vendor.
Completing the vendor part setup is required to ensure accurate Material Costs are calculated.
When entering the value in the Split field, use a value between 0 and 1 to calculate the percentage: 1.0 = 100%, 0.5 = 50%, etc. This field is used when the same part is being provided by two separate vendors, with the percentages reflecting the supplied percentage of each respective vendor.
The Conversion Factors fields allow you to have OnRamp automatically convert received raw material into a different unit of measurement.
Conversion Factors Example
- You need 18 10-sq. ft. sheets of 24-gauge sheet metal.
- Vendor ABC ships you the 24-gauge sheet metal by weight.
- You know that each sheet weighs approximately 10.77 lbs.
You need to know how many pounds to order to fulfill upcoming demand. To do this:
- On Vendor UM, change the value to LB and enter 10.77 as the weight.
Now, when MRP calculates the required raw material you need, the suggested purchase order requests 193.86 lbs of sheet metal from the vendor.

When the order is received, OnRamp stores 18 sheets at the selected inventory location.
