Suppliers, MOQs and purchase price

Key takeaway: Supplier records group SKUs, drive lead times and surface reorder cost.

Found in Settings → Suppliers. Organise your products by supplier for easier reordering.

Adding a supplier

Create a supplier record with a name, lead time, and any minimum order quantity (MOQ). Once a supplier exists, you can assign SKUs to it in the per-SKU settings or via the Replenishment table.

Why suppliers matter

Assigning suppliers to your SKUs lets you filter the Replenishment table by supplier and create purchase orders that group all items from the same supplier together. It also feeds the supplier lead time into reorder calculations for all linked products.

Purchase price and MOQ

If you enter a purchase price per SKU and a minimum order quantity, Forthcast can show you the estimated cost of each reorder. This helps you plan cash flow alongside stock replenishment decisions.
