Supplier Code

This code is used to identify the supplier and is also used in some cases for exporting the information into an accounting system.  Normally the supplier code is made up of the first three letters or a commonly used abbreviation of the supplier name

Supplier Name

The name of the supplier which appears on the invoice.  If exporting to MYOB the supplier name used here needs to be identical to that in MYOB.

Active Supplier

Displays the active status of the supplier.  If the supplier is not active then invoices cannot be received against it.

Preferred Supplier

Ticked if the supplier is a preferred supplier.  This option is useful if the venue deals with multiple suppliers for certain products

Work Phone

Account #

Master Supplier

Can be used in the instance there are multiple suppliers from the same company in different areas.  For example, a supplier may have a different office or warehouse in multiple states but their products use the same supplier code.  A Master Supplier can be created which can have all of the supplier inventory codes linked to it.  Then each state supplier can also be added with their relevant state address details, linked to the Master Supplier.  This means that the purchase order can be placed from Sysnet for the local supplier but using the supplier product codes linked to the master.
