Inventory Items > Multiple suppliers

Some businesses will have multiple suppliers for the same inventory item. This creates challenge because when ordering inventory item, you typically need to use the right inventory code your supplier will understand.

For example, you can purchase the same widget from three different suppliers. Each supplier has different code for the widget. Rather than creating multiple inventory items, create multiple purchase invoice items which will be linked to the same inventory item.

1.	Go to Settings tab.

2.	Click Purchase Invoice Items.

3.	Click New Item.

4.	Enter information about this item. Under Account field select Inventory on hand account, then select an inventory item.

5.	Click Create button.

Do this for each supplier item. When creating purchase order for supplier, select the right purchase invoice item.
