The Application allows you to maintain information on foodservice brokers and tie that information into the vendor files. This can be useful when orders from a vendor are placed through a broker. To create a broker in the system, you use the Broker File Maintenance form (Figure 17) found under File Maintenance Broker File.

After you have set up a broker using the Broker File Maintenance form, you can then associate vendors with that broker using the Vendor File Maintenance form (Figure 18 - Discussed next in Setting Up Vendors) found under File Maintenance Vendor File. The Vendor File Maintenance form has a tab for Broker Information in which you can enter one of the brokers you created and identify the contact person for that vendor and indicate if orders from this vendor should be made through the broker.

Once a broker has been associated with a vendor, the broker information will appear on the Vendor Re-Order Report for that vendor.
