VI import of new Inventory Items

SOLVED

Using 4.4, I was successful in importing new Inventory Items using VI, except it would not accept the VendorNo:

                "Missing vendor number in the AP Vendor Masterfile table"

The vendor does exist in AP and I even created a record in IM_ItemVendor, but I still get the same error.

The vendor does appear as the singular choice now using the flashlight (Multiple Vendor Lookup) for Primary Vendor. If it is not selected and saved, the auto generation of POs appears to not work properly. Short of using Item Maintenance to do this for imported items, I'm stumped by this problem.

I will routinely import thousands of new items, thus the need to use VI. Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
