Sourcing
Who sells this part. A part with no source cannot go on a purchase order and never appears on replenishment, so this is the first thing to fill in for anything bought.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supplier | One of the suppliers |
| Their part number | The supplier's own number — what goes on the order and what the packing slip will say. Required |
| Product page URL | A deep link to the item on their site, where one is stable |
| Unit price | What they charge, in… |
| Currency | …this currency, or the supplier's default when blank |
| Minimum order | The least they will sell |
| Pack size | Bag of 100, reel of 5,000: suggested orders round up to whole packs |
| Lead time (days) | This item's, overriding the supplier's general figure |
| Preferred | The source replenishment reaches for by default. One per part; making one preferred un-prefers the others |
★ makes a source preferred, 🗑 removes it (it is archived, and vanishes from the part). The same supplier cannot be mapped twice to one part.
