If you are using the new MPS Price Book, which allows you to set your dealerships rep cost on all MPS contracts, this is where you will add in any suppliers that you are going to map to, using the Mapping Tool or Link to the Supplier Download Tool. These tools allow you to download your dealerships consumable costs directly into Compass, saving you significant data entry time.  Start by choosing a supplier from the Supplier drop down and give the supplier a name.
