Update primary supplier

Updating the primary supplier to your entire Fred Office Plus database can take a number of minutes to apply, so it is best to run it on a computer that does not need to be used.

  1. Go to Inventory, then select Items, and click Show All.
  2. Select all Items.

    Shortcut: Click one item, then press Ctrl+A.

  3. Click Quick Action to launch the Quick Action Wizard.
  4. Click + to expand the Suppliers section and select Set supplier as Primary, then click Next.

  5. Select the supplier you wish to set as Primary from the drop down, and click Next.

  6. Preview the changes that will be made. Items that you have selected that are not supplied by your new Primary supplier will appear greyed out and will not be updated. Select Confirm you wish to apply these changes. To start applying changes, click Next.

  7. Once the update is complete click Finish.

    It is recommended that you change your Item code to match your new primary supplier. If you change your Item code to match your new primary supplier, you will need to reprint all Shelf Label tickets with the new Item codes, as the Mobility gun will not work with the old tickets once the Item code has changed. For help on how to do this see Match item code to Supplier Code.
