Supplier Products

Supplier Products allow you to maintain vendor-specific data for items in your catalog. This includes the supplier's part number, lead times, and quantity-based cost breaks.

Managing Products

To manage the items offered by a specific supplier: 1. Navigate to Suppliers and select a vendor. 2. Click on the Products tab.

Fields

  • Supplier Part Number: The identifier used by the vendor for this item.
  • Description: The vendor's description of the item.
  • UOM: Unit of Measure.
  • Lead Time: Standard lead time in days.
  • Cost Breaks: Defined cost reductions based on purchase quantity.

Cost Breaks

Cost breaks allow you to track how your cost decreases as you purchase higher volumes from a supplier. These breaks are used by the purchasing system to optimize order quantities.

Adding Cost Breaks

  1. Open a Supplier Product record.
  2. Navigate to the Cost Breaks section.
  3. Add rows for each break level:
    • Min Quantity: The minimum number of units required to reach this price level.
    • Unit Cost: The cost per unit at this quantity level.

The system will automatically sort these breaks by quantity. When creating a Purchase Order, Velosity will look up the appropriate cost based on the quantity being ordered.
