Associate Items

There may be times when you want to purchase identical stock from a new supplier. If it is only one or two items, then open the item and click on Alternate Supplier and add the new supplier’s information. But in some cases there may be many items that you need to copy.  In this case, you can use the Associate Items function to set up many items at once for the new supplier.
