Supplier consolidation

Costs can also be reduced by replacing parts of different suppliers by parts of one supplier.

Certain suppliers provide detailed additional information on their catalog, so that their parts become comparable with those of other suppliers.

By clicking on Extras menu -> Purchineering -> Kanban Report -> Create report... the respective dialog box opens.

Under Search options, in the list field under Supplier, make the desired selection.
Under catalogs, activate the checkboxes at the catalogs or subdirectories to be searched.

Note
Only parts available in the ERP system (with ERP number) are compared. => So you only have to check green boxes.
