Tour Vendors
On the Tour's Vendor's Tab, you assign vendors and contacts to a tour. Vendors who share a destination with tour appear first in the list, followed by all other vendors.
Assigning a vendor here creates a relationship in ViaTour indicating this vendor is a business partner on this tour. The idea of partnership is made more specific by assigning a vendor role. Once this link is established on the tour form, the reciprocal relationship is displayed on the Vendor Form on the Tour History Tab.
A vendor who is checked as primary will have contact info displayed on the Tour Overview tab.
Primary phone, fax and web are pulled from the vendor record.
The right hand arrow button at the end of the vendor row opens the associated vendor record. (This is a short cut to the Vendor Form).
Once vendors are associated with a tour, you can create Services to track contracted events or room inventory to track berthing and room allotments. Your cannot assign a Service without first assigning a vendor to a tour. Nor can you create room inventory without establishing the "role."
You are not required to add a vendor to a tour in order to add a Vendor Contact to a tour. Note, however, that adding a vendor contact does not create a "tour history" on the vendor record.
If you type a new vendor name into this field, you will be asked if you wish to add the vendor "on the fly." Please be sure that this is a new vendor, not an incorrectly typed version of an existing vendor.
