Setting up Gas Vendors

Gas vendors identify the suppliers of regulated gases used by your organization. Vendors are associated with gas containers and scales. This topic explains how to add gas vendors in APM.

If your organization uses the APM purchasing functionality (EAM product module), you can link vendors to purchasing suppliers that are recorded in APM.
