Parts Supplier in Reports

– keep better track of your inventory –

Today we’d like to point out a new feature in ARI that may have gone unnoticed in the previous release, but make no mistakes, it’s a big thing.

You can now add a Supplier/Vendor to your Parts inventory. This will allow you to keep a better track of what parts you sell from which vendors.

How to Use

After Login, head out to Inventory/Parts. Open an existing part or create a new one. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you should see the Vendor input.

NOTE: In order to use the Vendor selection, you first need to add a Vendor record.

How it Works

The main point of adding Vendors to your parts is so that you can get proper reports. So, after you have added a vendor to a part, all new invoices you save will retain the vendor’s name and expose it in your Reports sections.

Reports that contain Vendor name:

• Sales & Purchase (only AFTER a new invoice is Saved)
• Parts & Services

Let us know if you want the vendor names exposed in any other Reports!
