Reference Manufacturers

When a manufacturer goes out of business or your company has lost the ability to purchase from a manufacturer, users can set the manufacturer to "reference." As a result, OASIS retains access to submittals and other similar information. This allows users to conduct future comparisons with other products that are still available. Setting the manufacturer to “reference” also stops them from being added to quotes and orders, while maintaining submittals.
