Match a supplier's product names to yours

What does this do?

Shops often sell a product under their own name. Recording what the supplier calls it (their description and code) lets a scanned delivery note match your product automatically. These names are only ever used for goods in, never printed on a quote, receipt or website.

How to use it

  1. Open the product from ☰ menu → Products and scroll to What the supplier calls it.
  2. Press + Add, type the supplier's name and code exactly as they appear on the delivery note, and Save product. Add several if the supplier uses more than one.
  3. To see every link in one place, open Stock Management and press 🏷 Supplier names.
  4. The list shows Supplier, They call it, Their code, Our product and Seen (how often it has matched). Press Forget on a wrong link.
  5. For many at once, press ⬆ Import list using the template CSV.

Scan a delivery note to add stock

Upload a PDF, photo or scan of the delivery note and the till reads every line, matches it to your products and shows a review screen. Nothing goes into stock until you press approve, so a misread line can be fixed first.

Add or edit a product

Products are what the till sells. Add each one with its supplier, cost and margins and it appears in the product search on the till, on quotes and in stock. Edit it any time from the Product database.

Product codes, SKUs and barcodes

A product code or SKU and a barcode make a product quick to find and unambiguous to update. The till search matches both, and price list imports can update existing products by their code.

Manage your suppliers

The Suppliers screen is built from your product list: one row per supplier with a product count and average retail margin. From here you can reprice a whole supplier at once or delete one.

Book a delivery in (Goods in)

Goods in books stock in by hand when you have no paperwork to scan, or the delivery is simple. Pick the product, say how much arrived and in what, and the till tells you exactly what it will add before you confirm.

Stock Management

Add a carpet or vinyl roll to stock

Every roll you hold is recorded against the product it belongs to, with its width, length, cost and where it sits. Once it is in, the till can cut from it and Stock Management shows what is left.
