Liquor Vendors
Customers with a Liquor Vendor Account (LVA), are able to access reports pertaining to the products they offer to the state of Montana. These include stock level and activity reports. A detailed depletion report called the Payment Authorization is also available at the end of each month.
In addition to the reports mentioned above, liquor vendors are able to utilize calculators to help determine the posted price per bottle for each item they plan to sell in the state of Montana. Two calculators are available. One works through the formula from FOB to posted price, while the other one works backwards from posted price to FOB.
Liquor vendors are also able to access their Vendor Rep License (VRL) account. This allows them to renew their vendor permit and representative registration.
