Vendor Part Kits Overview

What is a vendor part?
A vendor part is an alphanumeric number provided by the vendor to the retailer. The vendor provides the vendor part based on how they identify the product in their system. For a retailer, the vendor part indicates the vendor associated with a specific product. The vendor part number is necessary to create or schedule an order for the product.
