Link products to a supplier

Costs and pack sizes are set on the product, not on the supplier. Open the product and, under Available from suppliers, choose Add.

  1. Pick the supplier and enter the Cost per unit.
  2. Choose Unit or Weight. To record how the supplier packs it, choose Add level for Carton, Master Carton, Layer, or Pallet.
  3. Set Duty tax % and GST taxable if they apply.
  4. Mark the Primary supplier. Only the primary supplier and its cost sync to your accounting integration.
