Supplier Card - Packages

Supplier Card – Packages

What it is about

The Packages tab defines in which packages and units the supplier delivers products. This is important because the supplier's package size may differ from the unit used to handle the product in your own warehouse. When the packages are defined correctly, Vektori can automatically break down the delivered batch into the correct stock units upon receipt of the purchase order.

Getting started

1. Go to Suppliers in the menu on the left-hand side.
2. Click the name of the desired supplier from the list — the supplier card will open.
3. Click the Packages tab.

What you can do on this page

Browse packages

The packages are displayed in a table, with each package on its own row. The table columns are:

• ID — package identifier
• Product — the product the package relates to
• Name — the package name or unit, e.g. kg or 6-pack
• Quantity in purchase units — how many of your own stock units one supplier package contains
• Supplier's product name — the supplier's own name for the product
• Supplier's product code — the supplier's own product code
• Price (excluding tax) — purchase price of the package excluding tax
• Created — when the package was added

Package-specific actions

On the left side of each row there is an action button, which opens a menu with the following options:

• Edit — opens the package editing view
• Delete — deletes the package

Add a new package

The + Add button in the top right corner opens a form for creating a new package, where you fill in:

• Product — the product the package relates to, selected from a dropdown menu (required)
• Name — the package name or unit (required), e.g. kg, box or 6-pack
• Quantity in purchase units — how many of your own stock units one supplier package contains
• Supplier's product name — the supplier's own name for the product
• Supplier's product code — the supplier's own product code
• EAN code — the package's barcode identifier
• Price (excluding tax) — purchase price of the package excluding tax

Save the package by clicking the Save button.

Edit column visibility

From the hamburger menu at the top left of the table, you can choose which columns are displayed. Available columns are: ID, supplier, product, name, quantity in purchase units, supplier's product name, supplier's product code, EAN code, price (excluding tax), price (including tax), created and updated.

Filter packages

The Filters button in the top right corner opens the filter panel, where you can narrow down packages based on product, supplier's product name, supplier's product code or EAN code.

Tips and notes

• Quantity in purchase units is the most important field in package definition — it tells Vektori how to break down the receipt of the purchase order into stock. For example, if the supplier delivers the product in 6-packs but the warehouse handles individual products, the value is set to 6.
• Supplier's product code and name facilitate making and checking purchase orders — when the correct package is selected for an order line, the supplier's own identifiers are automatically filled in on the purchase order.
• EAN code is especially useful when products are received using a barcode scanner — the correct EAN code ensures the receipt is allocated to the right product.
• Different suppliers can have different packages for the same product — each supplier manages their own packages separately, so package definitions are always made on a per-supplier basis.
