Marlin GTX enables Supplier Groups to be created and maintained for organising suppliers under departments and applying common defaults.
Supplier Groups sit between departments and individual suppliers and provide a way to group suppliers together for reporting and purchasing functions.
Supplier Reporting Levels:
- Supplier Departments: Summary of total supplier purchases
- Supplier Groups: Categories of suppliers within a department
- Individual Suppliers: Detailed reporting for a single supplier
Each Supplier Group belongs to a department and can have a default supplier nominated for automated purchase orders.
