A Collard

I appreciate the ideas. It sounds like some creative and liberal application of tags is in my near future...

With the purchase tasks connected to the vendor, how would I know that an item has been ordered - When I look at my Project Notes? Is there a way to make that connection? or would I need to duplicate the tasks?

I am organizing multiple projects that require components from various vendors. I would like to consolidate/coordinate my purchasing. When I'm ready to order from Vendor A, I'd like to be able see all of the components to be ordered (regardless of project) and mark them as ordered. This sounds like a good use for Tasks - each item as a Task, then IF they could be "tagged" by vendor it would be straightforward to locate and process them. But, tasks can't be tagged (that I can see anyway)... Suggestions on how to make this work efficiently in Evernote?
