Supplier Tracking Feature

The Supplier Tracking feature is a system option that you can enable in your account. Before you turn it on, see if it is right for your workflow, by checking the following requirements:  

1) You use the BULK inventory model, and/or

2) You receive and pull lots of inventory (for converting or shipping), based on Supplier

Please note: this system option should not be turned on and off. Once you have decided to track Bulk Inventory by Supplier, you must leave it on or risk saving Receiving/Shipping Inventory that will not be tracked properly, leading to Inventory issues. Contact the Support Team if you have questions before you turn this option on. 

To enable this option, go to Settings> Inventory> Check 'Allow Bulk Inventory to Track Supplier'. 

On Receiving Inventory Worksheets

Now when you receive inventory, it will be tied to the Supplier listed at the top of the Worksheet. 

On Converting Jobs

1) Click +Select Bulk. 

2) Choose your Grade/Product and Supplier. The Quantity On-Hand will appear at the bottom. 

Please note: you cannot exceed the Quantity On-Hand.

On Shipping Inventory Worksheets

1) Select a BULK grade on the Grade/Product drop-down menu.

2) A panel on the side will pop up. Once you select a Supplier, the On-Hand total will adjust to reflect the total weight amount you have on hand from that Supplier.

3) Enter the Quantity that you want to Ship. 

Please note: The Quantity entered cannot exceed the total On-Hand Quantity for that Supplier. If you need more Product than is available, enter another Grade/Product detail and select a different Supplier of the same product.
