Contract- publisher - reseller

[DaniyalNayyer]

Hi everyone,

We have been facing an issue where we are trying to add contracts to Flexera where we have purchased some software through a re-seller. Within the contract details we have put the reseller as the vendor, which works fine when you look at the contracts list within the particular vendor/re-seller. However, since they are multiple software we have purchased from the re-seller there is a problem with the publishers. Within the calculated publisher field, it has identifying the latest entry of contracts as the publisher and then all the contracts go against the vendors. Has someone faced this ? if so, whats the best way to set this up so all contracts can be connected to the re-seller but show for their own publishers?

Thanks.

I would recommend to record the publisher (software manufacturer) as the primary vendor on the general tab and then add the reseller and potential other vendors in the Vendors Tab as I think that will ease the reporting. I would welcome other views and experiences from other forum members though.

Thanks,

This is the other solution I had thought about as well.
