Adding Suppliers to an Item:
To use this tab you must first select suppliers for this item in the Supplier screen. To do this:
a. Click the New button at the bottom of the list. The fields to the right of the Supplier
screen are enabled.
b. Select a Supplier Code from the drop down list. You can also select New Supplier from
the list to create a new supplier.
c. Enter the SKU number for this item in the Supplier Item SKU field.
d. Enter the description of this item given by the supplier in the Supplier Item Description
field.
e. Enter the number of days lead time the supplier needs to process orders for this item in
the Lead Time (in days) field. The lead time is the time from the requisition date to the
delivery date. For example, if you need the item by the 15th of the month and the
supplier requires 5 days to deliver the order, you would enter 5 here to ensure the order
is sent to the supplier timely.
f. The Status field displays the supplier's current status (Active or Inactive). You can
change the status by making a new selection from the drop down menu.
g. You can make this the default supplier for this item by checking the Make this the
default Supplier while ordering this item checkbox (Pro and Enterprise versions
only). When this is selected, this supplier will automatically populate purchase orders for
this item. You can change the supplier on the purchase order, if needed.
h. Any notes entered for this supplier will appear in the Notes section.
i. You can enter the supplier's unit of measure settings in the Order Unit Settings screen
(Pro and Enterprise versions only). This is the unit used by the supplier when shipping
this item. This may be box, pallet, etc. This is different from the "Eaches" stocking unit
you entered on the Additional tab. For example, you may have entered "jar" for the
stocking unit on the Additional tab, but the supplier may ship the item in boxes
containing 10 jars. When creating purchase orders, you would want to specify the Order
Unit as box rather then jar (or you could end up with 100 boxes of jars rather than 100
jars).
You can also enter the number of the item contained in each of the Order Units and the
Cost of the Order Unit.
If you are tracking cost and have entered information in the Cost field (General Tab) and
in the Stocking Unit field (Additional Tab), when you receive the item, InventoryControl
will do the math and will calculate the cost per item received.
For example, if you order item Barcode Laser Scanners in boxes of 20 at $3500, but your
stocking unit is each, you need to specify the cost of a box of 20 when you are setting up
your Supplier information here. When the item is received, InventoryControl will calculate
the cost per item received. $3500/20 = $175.00.
You can enter multiple order units, if needed. When you are creating your purchase
