New Supplier Dialog
This dialog lets you enter information about a new supplier. It is opened from the
context menu in the
table of the suppliers screen.
The supplier is not added to the database until you close the dialog by clicking on the OK button.
The name of the supplier must be unique. If you attempt to enter a duplicate name, BookStore will
simply not save the name.
The PO Order Threshold is the value above which BookStore will draw you attention to
purchase orders
that can be ordered. It may be inefficient to place purchase orders below a certain value, for example
if delivery to you from the supplier costs a lot. You can work out the minimum order size that you
want to make for each supplier, and set the value here. If a PO is below this value, it can still be
ordered, but BookStore will not draw you attention to it until it contains enough products to take its
value over this threshold.
Delivery Percentage is the percentage value of the suppliers RRP that should be added to your RRP
when calculating the RRP for products from this supplier where you want that RRP to include the
delivery charge from the supplier. It is ONLY used during product imports.
Delivery Fixed is the fixed value that should be added to your RRP
when calculating the RRP for products from this supplier where you want that RRP to include the
delivery charge from the supplier. It is ONLY used during product imports.
As well as adding an address, you can use the Contact Details field to add name and personal information
about the points of contact you have with this supplier. These details should allow you to build up
more personalable relationships with you suppliers.
