In addition to the standard Item Supplier details that can be set in Sage, Cim200 adds further information to give insight into supplier performance.

Price Variance : Gives the buying price variance between the latest purchase order for that supplier and the oldest order, up to 2 years old.

OTIF Performance % : Calculates the On Time In Full performance by the supplier for deliveries of the selected item. The value gives the percentage of orders over the past 2 years which have been fully received within the Requested delivery date on the Purchase Order line.

Supplier Price Breaks

Add / Edit Supplier

Quantity price breaks: When setting up stock item suppliers, there is now the option to enter quantity price breaks. This feature allows you to define different price tiers or discounts based on the quantity of items being purchased from a specific supplier.

 

Default pricing for purchase orders: The quantity price breaks entered for each stock item supplier will be used as default pricing when raising purchase orders. This applies to both manual purchase order creation and when generating purchase orders from the Cim200 Material Requirements Planning (MRP) recommendations. The system will automatically apply the appropriate price based on the quantity being ordered, using the defined price breaks for the supplier.

 

By incorporating quantity price breaks in the stock item supplier setup, the system streamlines the purchase order creation process by automatically applying the correct pricing based on the ordered quantity. This feature helps optimize purchasing decisions, ensures accurate cost calculations, and potentially enables cost savings by taking advantage of volume-based pricing discounts offered by suppliers.

Carbon Footprint

If your supplier can provide you with the KgCO2e value that is associated with the manufacture of the component item, you can enter that figure against the stock item supplier record in the KgCO2e (per Each) field. This will then be used to calculate the Carbon Footprint of the items you manufacture whenever this item is issued to a Works Order.
