Manage Supplier Item Records in AnyDB

The Supplier Item business object represents what one supplier charges for one product variant. It holds the supplier's own SKU, the cost and currency, the lead time, the minimum order quantity and the pack size, and marks which supplier is the default for the variant.

Description

Use the Supplier Item object to keep a supplier price list against the products you sell. It connects a Supplier to a product variant, so replenishment can price a purchase order, respect a minimum order and pack size, and plan around the supplier's lead time. One variant may have several Supplier Items — one per supplier — with one of them marked Default.
