How to manage suppliers

At Northwind Precision's Galway plant, nobody remembers which lab calibrates the calipers. Keep suppliers in one list.

Steps

1. Overview → Suppliers

   Start on the Overview. Choose Suppliers in the sidebar.

2. Open a supplier

   Open a supplier to see its contact details and lead time.

3. Edit

   Edit the details, for example how many days ahead to contact them.

4. Its calibrations

   Below, every calibration this supplier did for you.

Good to know: Calibration suppliers

• Contact them (days before due) says when to get in touch about a piece sent to them: four weeks for a new supplier. The calendar shows the day for each piece, and its due soon and critical dates count back from it. A piece or its type can say otherwise.
• A supplier you no longer use can be archived; past calibrations keep its name.
