The Supplier Vs Item feature of RetailEasy on-cloud is used to map Items with the Suppliers who supplied the Items. The Item creation screen maps the Supplier to the Item while the Supplier Vs Item screen maps the Items with the Supplier.
Benefit of mapping the Items with Suppliers:
Assume that your store has Udhayam Urad dal", purchased from two different Suppliers at different prices and discounts. While making a Purchase Order, we can differentiate the Item based on the cost prices and choose the suitable supplier. In case one of our Suppliers is unable to supply an Item, we can go forward with the other supplier for the Purchase.
Prerequisites: Only if the Supplier's Price Mode is set to Price list, the Items can be added to the Supplier.
