The Supplier Details Window provides allows you to create and edit supplier information for your stock items.
A supplier can contain information about their location and contact details, and the items that you usually source from that supplier (with associated default prices).
The Details Tab shows you :
·
Contact information, and
·
the Status of the Supplier in the System (Active/Inactive).
The Stock Items Tab shows you the catalogue of items that you normally order from this supplier.
The reason Martial Class stores this information is to allow you to customise your buy price depending on the supplier. As each supplier may supply the same item, but at a different buy price and potentially with a different catalogue code (their code).
To add items to this list, you drag-and-drop them from the items window.
Of course, you can override these values in each purchase order, but setting them up here speeds the order generation process.
The Purchase Orders Tab shows you all purchase orders you have created for this supplier, whether they are active, delivered, sent, or in draft.
