This spreadsheet column shows the spreadsheet name of the vendor assigned to each material item, if any. To specify a vendor, choose one from the list, and then enter an amount in the Material Amount column.
If the vendor does not exist in the address book, you can easily add it by typing the name in the Vendor Name column for the item, and then pressing Enter. For more information, see Setting up a vendor in the estimate.
Note: When an item is added that has a material category, the item is a member of a material class, and that material class has a default vendor, then the vendor name prefills with the material class' default vendor.
