Print supply trade
A print supply business can use the dealer, product, order and warehouse records for stocked materials or finished products it buys and sells. Each accepted order keeps its price, quantity, ship-to address and title rule. Purchasing and receipts preserve the separate supplier side.
How Printing & Packaging ERP is set up for you
Commercial offer
Use an effective product unit and dealer price list to prepare a dated quote.
Supply commitment
Approve the supplier purchase before recording actual arrivals and accepted stock.
Delivery evidence
Keep picked, dispatched and accepted quantities distinct when a shipment is partial.
A print supply business can use the dealer, product, order and warehouse records for stocked materials or finished products it buys and sells. Each accepted order keeps its price, quantity, ship-to address and title rule. Purchasing and receipts preserve the separate supplier side.
Choose a familiar trade cycle with one repeat dealer and a small set of products. Verify pack conversions before quoting, then run a partial order through reservation, picking, delivery and invoice approval. Reconcile the supplier bill against accepted receipt quantity. Keep a refused shipment line as an open exception until the team records its actual outcome.
Agree on who owns customer credit, supplier approvals and warehouse release. Run the same case with a second user who has only warehouse access, then confirm that financial approval remains with Finance Manager. The resulting decisions provide a useful model for the next set of products and customers. [Review the data model](/erp-for-printing-packaging/data-model).
When a supplier changes a promised date, retain the original date alongside the revision. The purchasing team can then explain a late receipt without changing the commercial history. Apply the same discipline to the dealer delivery promise, so a revised date does not erase the original commitment.
