About
A supplier catalogue is imported and kept against a supplier. When a supplier has one, only the products and settings in the catalogue can be linked to supplied products in your Cinchio product database.
Limited availability
Supplier catalogues aren't available for every supplier or company yet.
What you can do
Check a supplier's catalogues, change their names and dates, turn them on or off, and update prices.
Link catalogue items to your supplied products, so they use the catalogue's codes and prices.
Ready to start?
Go to the Manage catalogues tab.
Manage catalogues
See a supplier's catalogues, change their details, and check or update the products in them.
Removing items is permanent
You can remove an item you no longer need with the delete icon on its row, but only if it's not linked to an active supplied product. A removed item can't be added back.

Link to inventory
Linking a catalogue item to a supplied product works much like linking a standard supplier pack, with a few differences.
What's different
Choose from the catalogue
You can't type your own Supplier Product Name. Pick a product from the catalogue instead.
Filled in for you
Supplier Product Code, Supplier Price and Split/Case come from the catalogue and can't be entered.
Always contracted
Contracted is set to Yes and can't be changed.
Same in the Supplied Products report
The same rules apply to supplier packs in the Supplied Products report.
