Default Supplier(s)

Overview

This section explains how to configure Default Suppliers for each Ingredient Type. Default suppliers are used to streamline purchasing and automatically assign preferred suppliers when creating new ingredients.

For a complete overview of Ingredient Type options, refer to the full Ingredient Type documentation. Additional resources are available for learning about Ingredients and adding new Ingredient Types.

Default Supplier Configuration

You can assign one or more default suppliers to each Ingredient Type.

Key points:

• Suppliers must already exist in your dispensary

• If a supplier does not exist, click Add New Supplier to create or select one

• Multiple suppliers can be assigned per Ingredient Type

• You can define a preference order for suppliers

How Default Suppliers Are Used

• When you create a new single ingredient or premix formula, the system automatically selects the default supplier

• Supplier preference order is used to:

  • Automatically choose the preferred supplier

  • Populate purchase orders with the correct supplier items

This reduces manual selection and helps ensure consistent sourcing.
