SUPPLIERS


To access the suppliers screen, go to SUPPLIERS >> SUPPLIERS.



Suppliers go hand in hand with articles. A supplier is someone you buy articles from. A supplier can also be a service provider, such as a sub contractor or your telephone provider, to which you will enter expenses in the expenses management screen.


It is recomended that you build your supplier list before you start building your article list. That way you can attach an article directly with it's supplier. Don't worry if you buy the same article from two different suppliers. Just attach the article with the supplier you buy most from, then you always specify the supplier for each purchase separately.

You do not have to build a supplier list if you don't want to!
Certain businesses do not care about having a report detailing where you made your purchases from. In that case, you don't really need to use the supplier module at all.


SUPPLIER MAIN SCREEN

When you access your supplier screen the first time, you find the default supplier. This is pre-entered in the system and you may leave it there as a "Limbo" supplier for when you are entering an article and you are not sure to which supplier you want to tie it to.




If you do not know how to use the basic functions of this screen, such as searching or adding a new supplier, refer to the section about the iLabPOS Interface.

At the bottom of the screen you will find a quick summation of the purchases that you had from this supplier in the last month, year etc. The bottom purchase totals will refresh according to which supplier is highlighted in the detail.
