Supplier Orders
Supplier Orders: Managing Supplier Catalogues
Use a supplier's own catalogue to control which products and prices can be linked to your supplied products.
In this article
Supplier Catalogues
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.
Managing Supplier Catalogues
1
Go to Inventory Management > Supplier Orders > Suppliers and select Edit against the supplier.
2
Open the Supplier Catalogue tab. Each catalogue shows:
The catalogue's name.
When the catalogue starts to apply.
When the catalogue stops applying.
Use Enable or Disable to turn the catalogue on or off.
From here you can:
Change the name or dates
Select Edit on the catalogue's row.
See the products
Select View Catalogue Items to see and change the products in it.
Catalogue items
The supplier's name for the product. You can't change it.
The supplier's code for the product. You can't change it.
The price. You can change it, and any supplied product linked to the item uses the new price.
For reference: whether the item comes as a case or singly.
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.
Linking Catalogue Items to Supplied Products
Linking a catalogue item to a supplied product works much like linking a standard supplier pack. The differences are:
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.
The same rules apply to supplier packs in the Supplied Products report.
