In this article, we will guide you through the steps to add a vendor using the 'Shipment' button on the inventory page.
Things to know:
- For franchise businesses, you can add a vendor at both the parent and child levels using the "Add Shipment" button.
- To add a vendor for a global product, use the "Add Shipment" button at the child level.
- Steps for Adding a Vendor:
- After typing the vendor's name in the "Vendor" field, press Enter to save the name and create a profile for the vendor.
- If no quantity is entered in the "Quantity in This Shipment" field, a vendor profile will be created, but no product will be assigned.
- If a quantity is entered, the product will be automatically assigned to the vendor profile.
- Vendor Information for Future Shipments:
- Once a vendor is added, the vendor's name will automatically appear for future shipments of the same product.
- If the next shipment comes from a different vendor, you will need to manually update the vendor information.
To manually add a vendor using the shipment button:
1. Go to POS > Inventory
2. Select the dropdown arrow next to the product you want to add the vendor to
3. Next, select the shipment icon
4. When the modal appears, enter the vendor name in the Vendor field then press enter on your keyboard.
5. Save
6. The vendor you created in step 4 will be shown in the vendor list on the Vendor Profile page.
