Why:
Suppliers can be grouped together. This is useful because when a purchase proposal is created it can be done for the group rather than each individual supplier.
Where:
To create a new supplier group,
access the Supplier screens by clicking the Supplier View button and then select the
Supplier that you would like to group via the File>Open command or by
clicking the Open button
. This will
display the Supplier Maintenance window.
How to Create a Supplier Group:
In the Supplier Maintenance window there is a field for 'Stock Order Group'. This is a free format text field where you can input a 'code' that denotes the group which you would like the supplier to belong to. Simply enter your Supplier Group code into this field and do the same with all Suppliers which you want to belong to the same group.
