Summary:
When purchasing products for inventory or stock, an End User is typically not required in Xvantage. In these cases, no End User information needs to be provided during the purchasing process.
End user requirements are determined at the SKU level based on vendor requirements. Whether an end user must be identified depends on the specific product being purchased.
Important: A reseller should only be listed as the End User when the product is being purchased for the reseller's own internal use, not for resale.
Key Takeaways:
End-user requirements are determined at the SKU level based on vendor policies.
Products purchased solely for inventory generally do not require an end user unless specified by the vendor.
If a vendor requires end-user information, the intended customer must be identified.
Resellers should only be listed as the end user when purchasing products for their own use, not for resale or inventory stocking purposes.

Question 1: Do I need to provide end-user information when purchasing products for inventory?
Answer: End-user information is generally not required when purchasing products solely for inventory. However, if the vendor has designated a specific SKU as requiring end-user details, Xvantage will prompt for that information during the order process.
Question 2: Why is end-user information required for certain SKUs?
Answer: Some vendors require end-user information for specific products. If a product is being purchased in advance and held in inventory for a known customer, that customer should be identified as the end user on the transaction.
Question 3: Can a reseller be listed as the end user?
Answer: A reseller should only be listed as the end user when the products are being purchased for the reseller's own internal use. For inventory purchases intended for future resale, the reseller should not be entered as the end user.
