📄Product Supplier Options

Suppliers are available in the Stock Control and this module requires authorisation. Contact Your Account Manager.
To access and edit Product Supplier Options, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled:
- All "Products" Flags
- Purchasing & Receiving: "Create / Edit Purchase Orders" Flag

The Preferred Supplier for a Product can be set by Store using a drop-down which is located on the Store/Pricing Settings tab of the Product Maintenance window
The drop-down options will include all of the Suppliers in the System's database along with an option called 'Use Product Setting'

If the "Use Product Setting" option is selected, the Preferred Supplier as set in the Product Settings will be used

This allows for each Store to have a different Preferred Supplier if required when using Auto PO processes or Requisitions
This may be needed in situations where Stores in different locations receive (or prefer to) a Product from Suppliers that are specific to the Stores' location
- For example, if an Organisation has a Store in Town Centre and a Warehouse Cafe in a Suburb and they also have two suppliers for Coca-Cola, one for each location
- The customer can configure the Town Centre Restaurant store to have the Preferred Supplier as the Coca-Cola City Whse for their Coca-Cola Products, while the Warehouse Cafe can configure the Coca-Cola Suburban as their Preferred Supplier
- Even if the customer has a Preferred Supplier set for the Product overall

To set a Default Supplier Code, use the Edit Mode from the Supplier Links window, then choose the desired Code from the drop-down
To enter Edit Mode, either click the Edit Mode button within the header section or double-click anywhere on the list

After entering into Edit Mode, a drop-down containing the available Supplier Codes for each Product will be accessible

This article covers options for Product Suppliers including how Products can be linked to Suppliers within BackOffice.
