Suppliers are manufacturers or
resellers from whom the store purchases items it sells.
To access suppliers functionality, go
to 'Products > Suppliers'.
Any suppliers you set up will be
available in the 'suppliers' selection when editing or creating a
product.
Setting the supplier is useful to help
with managing stock in the back end of Kartris. You can list all the
products from a particular supplier from the suppliers page – this
makes it easy to locate all items from a particular source if you
have a recall or other issue to attend to.
Also, you can filter the stock level
warnings ('Products > Stock Levels') by supplier. This allows you
to see which items need ordering from any particular supplier while
preparing an order.
