You can enter a POS/EDI# in the text field, if you know it.

Below this list, you will see the Purchase History list. Any transactions that you’ve made for the item will be listed here. You can click once to select a certain transaction to view the details. This list will also show you a price comparison if you’ve purchased from multiple vendors in the past: you can compare vendors. Keep in mind that the comparison will only work if you are comparing equal Units of Measure and Items per Procurement Unit.
Click the arrow next to Electronic Purchasing to expand the section.
Here, you can keep track of your Automated Purchasing by logging past vendors and prices.
Click on the Vendor dropdown menu to select the vendor, enter the Stock Number and Price, select the Last Price (known) date, and select a Preference from the dropdown menu.
