We are new to NAV and are in the process of setting up the administration section. We are confused between the vendor list that we have set up and the Manufacturer List that is under purchasing.

Thank you very much Rocco. That clears it up.

Hi Audrey,
You use the Manufacturer field and the Manufacturing list to identify the original manufacturer of the Item, although you do not make any transactions with the manufacturer.
For example you may purchase an inventory item manufactured by IBM from one or many different suppliers/vendors, however you may never setup IBM as a vendor in your system because you do not deal with them directly. You may however want to note that IBM is the manufacturer for reporting or segmentation. (Many people also use the Item Category Code / Product Group Code in a similar manner).
You also use Manufacturer on Non Stock Items which is a catalogue of items you can offer from your suppliers but may not purchase until you receive a customer order.
Hope that helps,
Rocco
I am not understanding why you would use 2 different lists. Wouldnt they all be vendors? We are a distributor that does not manufacture anything but we deal with manufacturers. We purchased finished goods, but we also send some items that we have purchased out to be cut down or repackaged? Would that be considered a manufacturer?
AFAIK, this is just addt'l info in the Item Card, there are "Vendor No." where you can specify for that specific item who is/are the vendor. aside from that you can specify also the "Manufacturer code" also for that Item.
