What does it mean to be a Primary Vendor?

The Default Item ID

When an items is added to the inventory from the electronic catalog, the system determines the primary vendor based upon the configuration of the Electronic Catalog vendors. Primary Vendor's part number becomes the default Item ID for the SKU as seen on the IC > File Maintenance > General Tab. The Item ID is printed on the BIN Label which is presented in test and as the Bar Code.

Default Taxonomy

The new item's Class/Code/Fine/Subfine is adopted from the default vendor

EZAD eCommerce AI created taxonomy

EZAD eCommerce has the ability to apply EI technology to income data and standardize the taxonomy for products that are presented with the store's webstore. This WI generated taxonomy structure is not downloaded back into the store's taxonomy. If the EZAD AI Taxonomy where to be adopted by the store, the communicated class structure would then not align with standard taxonomy structure of the Data Share environment.
