OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)​

This allows you to group brands. If one buyer is responsible for a handful of brands, you can create an OEM in the OEM table and then assign the OEM to each brand. This way one single OEM of ‘WP’ can pull Maytag, Jenn air, and Whirlpool, etc.

Some reports have the OEM as part of the selection criteria which you can use rather than manually selecting all of the brands one by one.
