A parent account (i.e., corporate or system account) can create a non-partner vendor and its distribution centers (DC's) in its account, and those vendor/DC combinations will then be available for a child account (i.e., facility account) to add to their account.
Once the vendor/DC is added to a child account, the DC-specific vendor product list can be published to a child account by the parent account.
As the parent account, the means to publish a DC-specific vendor product list to a child account is accomplished by importing an Excel® file of the vendor product list, and selecting the Publish to Child Accounts option (below). See Importing Vendor Product List from Excel® File > Uploading the File for instructions to do so.
It is also recommended to select the Replace Order Guide option to have an up-to-date vendor product list with current pricing, and if an existing product in your current vendor product list is not in the import file, the status will be set to a dropped or out of stock status (depending on the vendor nomenclature) for that product. Therefore, if the vendor product is currently linked (i.e., verified) to a food item, then that link continues to be maintained in the system.
