Overview

Product suppliers display on the Suppliers tab on the product detail view:

Products can have any number of suppliers,
Stock can be purchased in different units from each supplier,
Each supplier has its own set of costs.
When stock is received the cost on the matching product supplier is updated.
The units on the product supplier record are very important. Get those wrong and the stock on hand can go wildly out. The units supplied by each supplier can vary. For example full boxes from the manufacture but individual units from the wholesaler. The units are:
- Default Buy Unit (the unit costs are quoted in)
- Buy Ship Unit (the unit the supplier actually uses to ship the stock)
When you purchase from different suppliers the cost for that supplier is printed on the purchase order.

The suppliers from whom you get this product. You can have more than one supplier at any given time.
