| AN2 Advanced Vendor Notes |
Control your purchasing by detailing delivery dates, vendor commitments, pricing and product specifications. An advanced version of our enhancement ANP - Vendor Notes, you can view and edit notes while maintaining and querying vendors or when entering POs. Plus, you can schedule multiple appointments for each vendor and can print a listing of your vendor appointments and to do activities each day. You can even use a timer to track your meetings and phone conversations and can enter this time into notepads.
For documentation on adding and editing notes along with other basic feature content please refer to ANP - Vendor Notes documentation.
When adding or editing a note, two new function keys will be available. They are F5-Appt and AltF5-Duration. F5-Appt flags the note as an appointment. (AltF5-Duration will be discussed later.) When F5 is pressed, the word "Appt" appears in the note's header.

The additional function key, AltF5-Duration, is available when entering or editing a note. When pressed, it calculates how much time has elapsed from the date and time on the note to the current date and time. The difference is stored as the last line on the note. For example, if the current date is 12/1/96, and the time is 9:17 am, and the user edits the note for AUTFNC's appointment, scheduled for 12/1/96 at 9 am, and presses AltF5, a new line will be put on the end of the note that says Duration: 17 minutes.
