📦 Suppliers Management
Suppliers play a crucial role in inventory flow, purchasing, and product sourcing. Whether you’re buying devices, parts, or accessories, managing your suppliers efficiently ensures smoother operations and smarter procurement.
➕ Adding a Supplier
You can add new suppliers through a simple form, collecting essential contact and business details. The form includes:
First Name & Last Name – Name of the supplier or point of contact
Email & Phone – Used for direct communication and tracking orders
Date of Birth (optional) – For identity recordkeeping
Tax Identity – National VAT/GST or local business number
Primary Address – Billing or registered business address
Shipping Address – If different from the billing address
Company Name – The organization they represent or operate under
Click Save, and the supplier becomes available throughout the system.
🧩 Supplier Connections & Usage
Your added suppliers aren’t just stored—they become deeply integrated into the system’s core modules:
🔗 1.
Vendor Purchases
When placing a purchase order from a vendor, you select a supplier. The system automatically filters and shows products linked to that supplier, streamlining the process of ordering stock and tracking payments.
🔗 2.
Product Assignment
When you add or edit a product, you can assign a default supplier to it. This ensures the system knows where the product originally came from and helps in:
Automated restocking workflows
Accurate cost/profit calculations
Clear traceability for audits and returns
💡 Example: If you always buy iPhone screens from “GadgetTek”, assign them as the default supplier when adding the product. Every future purchase of that screen will default to GadgetTek.
