File - Supplier - Buy Names

Micronet can store the item buy price names:

• globally – the same buy price names are used for every item (these are set in the general company configuration – refer to "Edit - Price Names - Buy Price Names")
• per product category – each product category type could have different buy price names (refer to "File - Product Category - Buy Names")
• against each supplier or per each item where the buy price name is stored differently for each item (refer to the procedure below and to "File - Inventory - Price Names").

Technical Tip The option to set the way you want buy price names to appear is setup in the company configuration. Refer to the Buy Price Breaks and Buy Price Names fields on the Purchasing Configuration screen (refer to "Edit - Program - Purchasing"). This tab is only enabled if the Buy Price Names field on the Purchasing Configuration screen is set to Item then Supplier then Company.

You use the Supplier Update screen - Buy Names tab if Micronet is setup for individual item buy price names, to set specific item buy price names for each supplier of a product. These buy price names are displayed on product inquiry screens and optionally on product reports.

To add or edit specific buy price names for a supplier:

1. Add a new supplier or open an existing one.

Refer to "Adding a New Supplier" or "Updating a Supplier".

2. Select the Buy Names tab.

Micronet displays the Supplier Update screen - Buy Names tab.

3. Complete the following fields:

4. Select FILE | SAVE.

5. Optionally, if you are using the Micronet Creditor’s Ledger (MCL), you should update the changes to the creditor in MCL by making sure that the EDIT | UPDATE CREDITOR menu option is checked.
