# Product Vendor
A read-only table showing every vendor associated with the current product. Four columns: vendor name, vendor code, cost (USD), and a *Preferred* / *Standard* status badge.
The block has no settings — it renders the product's vendor list as-is.
## Available in
* Catalog modules
* Order Form modules
* Public Page modules
## When to use
* B2B procurement workflows where the user needs to see all vendors that supply a product.
* Product detail pages for internal staff who manage purchasing.
* Vendor selection contexts where you want at-a-glance visibility of options.
If the product has only one vendor or vendor info isn't relevant to your users, skip this block.
## What it depends on
Product Vendor reads the `itemVendors` data from the current product. That data is only included in the catalog if **Item Vendor** is enabled in the catalog's Settings.
| What to verify | Where |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Item Vendor** toggle is on | **Catalogs** → open the catalog → **Settings** → *Item Vendor* |
| The catalog has been rebuilt after enabling the toggle | **Catalogs** list → **Reprocess** on the catalog row |
If Product Vendor shows an empty state on every product, the likely cause is that the catalog was built before Item Vendor was turned on. Reprocess the catalog and the vendor data will populate.
## Settings
This block has **no configurable settings**. It renders the current product's vendor list directly.
## How it works
1. Reads the current product's `itemVendors` from session state.
2. Renders a 4-column table:
* **Vendor Name**
* **Vendor Code**
* **Cost** (formatted as USD currency)
* **Status** (badge: green *Preferred* or grey *Standard*, based on the `preferred` flag)
3. If no vendors are configured (or no item is loaded), the block shows a short empty-state message.
## Examples
**Procurement detail page.** Product Vendor on a B2B catalog product detail page so the buyer can compare vendor costs and pick the preferred one.
**Internal product reference.** Product Vendor on an internal-only Page module used by product managers to review supplier configurations.
