Let's discover what they are.
Stock Part, Stock Item, Stock, SKU and Supplier Parts are one and the same. A Supplier Part Number is a unique identifier assigned to a part by a supplier. It helps differentiate and track specific products within the supplier’s inventory, making it easier for you to manage and reference parts in the procurement process.
Getting There
You can get to the Stock Records area via the Stock menu.
You can search for a Stock item (Part) using the criteria.
Select the Stock Item (Part) by clicking on its SKU number.
In the stock part screen, scroll downwards to the Suppliers section.
This section lists the Supplier and the stock part you have allocated.
Primary or Secondary Suppliers
Designating a Primary or Secondary Supplier allows you to prioritise which suppliers are most likely to fulfill your orders within your supply chain.
For instance, this decision may be influenced by factors such as the best pricing, favorable delivery terms, or the reliability of the supplier.
Make sure to click Edit via the Action Bar on the left to make any changes.
Here you can see:
Supplier 000003 is the Primary Supplier.
Supplier 000002 is the Secondary Supplier.
Any other Supplier will just be a tertiary supplier.
If you designate a supplier as Primary or Secondary and then select a different supplier for those roles, the original Primary or Secondary supplier will become a Tertiary supplier.
Make sure to click Save.
After you add or change the suppliers, a warning will pop up if no warranties are assigned.
Click yes or no.
Yes, it will remove the warranty.
If you have more than two Suppliers, you will see that the Supplier Part No has multiple entries.
