Supplier Types

This screen allows you to maintain a file of Supplier Types, which are used to analyse Supplier records.   Supplier Types are User-defined and can include such types as:

• Office Supplies
• Fastenings
• Raw Materials

Entry and Display fields

Type: Enter the Name of the Supplier Type.   Duplicates not allowed.

Description: Enter a short description of the Supplier Type.  No checks are made on this entry

Data Display Options

Field Position: On this screen you can move the field position by dragging the column heading left or right to the position where you want it to appear.

Buttons

Close: This will close the Supplier Type screen.  If you have any unsaved data then you will be asked if you wish to save it before the screen is closed.

Add: This will send the cursor to a new line for entry of a new Supplier Type.

Save: This will save the current data without exiting the screen

Cancel: Any changes made since the line was actioned or the last time the ‘Save’ Button was pressed will be lost.

Delete: This removes the current highlighted Supplier Type.

Set Default: If you highlight a record and click this Button then the Default Supplier Type will appear at the top of the screen.  The Supplier Type is used to prefill the Supplier screen when adding a new Supplier.  It can, of course, be amended to another Type in that screen without affecting this default.  The Default Supplier can be amended at any time.
