Supplier Management
Catalog > Definitions > Supplier screen is the module where you list the main suppliers, importers or manufacturers of the products you sell on your site.
As you grow your e-commerce operation, matching products with the right supplier plays a critical role in terms of both reporting and stock operations (e.g. which product is out of stock from which supplier).
Supplier Identification
There are detailed information cards you can fill out when adding a new supplier:
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Supplier Code | Unique supplier tracking code for ERP or accounting integration. |
| Supplier Name | The official or known name of the company. |
| Main Category | It indicates which main category of products you mostly buy from this supplier. |
| Contact / Responsible Person | The name, e-mail address and direct phone number of the authorized person you are in contact with at the supplier company. |
| Discount Rate | You can define the fixed discount rate (e.g. 20%) applied by the company to the system. |
| Active Status | It allows you to activate or deactivate working with the supplier. |
Mass Deactivation Process
When you end working with a supplier and change its status to Inactive, the system asks you a smart question: "Should all products belonging to this supplier be deactivated as well?" Thanks to this feature, you can close all relevant products to the customer with a click, without having to deal with removing hundreds of products one by one.
