Home > Supplier Management > Supplier > Screen Shots/Explanations > Suppliers - Ordering
This tab allows you to control the ordering details for the supplier. When ordering details (frequency/lead days) are changed for a supplier the existing items for that supplier require ranging hence a Range button (securable control). When the Range button is pressed, this prompts for the location and effective date for the ranging and then update all the items with a cost record for this supplier in the entered location / location group.
