Scroll down the page to the 'Product Suppliers' section. Here you will be able to input the information for the product. 'Priority Order' determines which order you order stock from a supplier when a product is out of stock. 0 represents your favoured supplier, with 1,2,3 etc ascending in order of least preferred. A supplier can be selected from the 'Supplier' drop down box and their SKU for a product can be entered in the 'Supplier SKU'.
If you and your supplier use the same SKUs, just enter your SKU. 'Cost Price' and 'Supplier Stock Level' can be manually set or brought into StoreFeeder via a feed from the supplier. The 'Lead Time' and 'Supplier Carton Quantity' values can also be entered. Once all of the correct information has been entered, click the 'Save' button.
