Adding a supplier

Before you populate the product database, it is a good idea to set up all of your suppliers on the system. This is a relatively quick and easy process requiring only bare essential information.

Access the "Maintain cost centre" facility either from the "Edit" menu "Cost centres" option in the main "Manage stock lines" window or by tapping on the "..." button next to the "Supplier" field in the "Add new stock line" window:

This opens the "Maintain cost centre" window:

From here tap the "New cost centre" option on the "File" menu to open the "new supplier / cost centre" window:

Enter the name of the new supplier/cost centre and click OK; this will take you back to the "Maintain cost centre" window displaying a newly created record which has the company name you have just entered in the "Company name" field:

From here you can fill in all of the other contact details relating to the supplier. Although this information does not need to be provided, it can be a useful (e.g. where you need to contact a supplier to query an invoice):

When you have finished entering all of the data, tap the SAVE button.
