How it works

Keep one supplier list and pick from it everywhere

The same picker feeds every screen that filters by supplier, so ‘Ridgeline Castings’ reads the same wherever it shows up. Add it once under product master and nobody keeps a separate list in sync by hand.

Supplier list

See every supplier for your site in one list

Every supplier for the site sits in one sortable table. Start typing a name and the list narrows right away, so a buyer on a receiving line can find a supplier without scrolling.

  • Sortable table of every supplier at the site
  • Search by name from the list or from a picker
  • Scoped to the company and site you are in
  • P. Villeneuveadded Talbrook Fastening
  • Talbrook Fastening Edit Delete

Add supplier

Add, edit, and delete a supplier

Add a supplier on its own screen and edit an existing record the same way. When your site stops buying from a supplier, delete it and it comes off the list.

  • Add a supplier from the list screen
  • Edit an existing record and save it back
  • Delete a supplier the site no longer uses
  • GR-50231: Ridgeline Castings PO-33184 PN-5218-07 QC hold

Receiving

See which supplier a delivery came from

When a delivery lands on the dock, receiving shows which supplier it came from, picked straight from the registry. The receipt matches the order because both point at the same record.

  • Supplier is a column on the receiving table
  • Chosen from the registry rather than typed by hand
  • The receipt carries the name the order used
  • Purchase orders PO-30412 PO-30438 PO-30451
  • Ridgeline Castingslinked on PO-30451

Purchase orders

Tie every order to one supplier record

Purchase orders name the supplier from that same list, so what was ordered and who supplied it stay together. A buyer can filter open orders by supplier without cross-checking two systems.

  • Supplier column on the purchase order list
  • The same record purchasing uses to raise an order
  • Filter open orders by supplier
  • Ridgeline Castings 6on time, last 8 On time6 Late2

Report cards

Score a supplier on its real deliveries

Score a supplier’s deliveries as they come in, and log feedback the moment one misses a date or a spec. It all lands on that supplier’s own record, so purchasing and compliance read the same history.

  • A report card per supplier, kept with the record
  • Feedback raised on a delivery, logged against the supplier
  • Compliance and purchasing read the same supplier list
  • Supplier picker Assets & Supply Receiving Kestrel Fasteners

Supplier picker

Pick suppliers from the same list on every screen

Any screen that filters by supplier draws its options straight from the registry. Add a supplier once and the same name shows up wherever someone picks from that list.

  • The supplier filter is served straight from the registry
  • Same spelling on the list, the receipt, and the order
  • A supplier added once turns up wherever the picker is used
  • Ridgeline Castingssupplier record, 3 contacts

Records only

Use other Modules for approvals and certificates

The registry holds the supplier record and the screens that use it, nothing more. Approval routing, certificates, and who can edit the list all sit in other Modules.

  • Approval routing belongs to the Approval Queue
  • Certificates and specifications belong in the Knowledge Library
  • Who may edit the list is a role setting in Security

    Receiving shows the supplier by name.

    When a delivery lands on the dock, receiving already knows which supplier it came from, straight from the registry. The receipt and the order end up pointing at the same record.

    • Feedback logged

    One record holds the whole supplier history.

    Every score and every note about a supplier lands on that one record, not scattered across screens. Purchasing and compliance end up reading the exact same history.
