Assigning suppliers to products

You can assign one or more suppliers to a particular product to reflect where you order the product from. 

When you place orders with a supplier, you can use the show all products button to see all products that are assigned to that supplier.  You can also use the order to PAR level or Suggest order products to generate your orders to the supplier.

To assign a supplier to a product, go into your back office and select Products  > Manage products from the left-hand navigation.

Click the required product in your available categories, then click the Stock tab.

From the Product suppliers section, click the blue Assign a new supplier button.

Select a Supplier name from the Dropdown and enter:

• Supplier product code (optional)
• Add an Order unit size
• Cost price for the product from that supplier

At the end of the Supplier name row, click the blue tick button to allocate the supplier

Note: If you add a supplier code, this will be included on any orders you email to the supplier.

If you have updated the Cost price or the Order unit size, you will be asked to confirm whether you want to update the cost price or the order unit size for this product now, to reflect against the items you currently have in stock, or from when you next take a delivery from the supplier. 

Your supplier information will now be added to the product. The Order unit size field and Cost price field will grey out and will change if any further updates are made.

To add additional suppliers, repeat the above steps. 

If you can order the product in different order unit sizes from the same supplier, you can add the supplier once for each order unit size.
