Setting attributes of a supplier

Once you have defined the structure of the company in the previous section, we can move on to define ways of delivering goods into individual warehouses. We specify frequency of delivery, lead time of an order (that is, from creating an order to its confirmation), when it is possible to order, when it is possible to receive goods at a warehouse, etc.

We describe additional logistical constraints, such as minimum order quantity or packaging.

These properties can be either set directly in import scripts (i.e., the scripts can be uploaded automatically from your system) or – if you don’t have them in your primary system – they can be set using the graphical interface of the STOCK system.

Modules:

• Module: Automatic computation of lead time
• Module: Administration of suppliers
• Module: Administration of delivery properties of warehouses
