Catalog Management

The Add a New Product page allows you to manually add products to your catalog. For additional information on maintaining your product catalog, see the Search Supplier Catalog and Product Detail topics.

To manually add new catalog items:

1. From the Catalog tab, select Search Catalog.

2. Click on the Add a New Product link at the bottom of the page to access the Add a New Product page.

   On the Add a New Product page all required fields are identified by a red arrow, . When adding new product information, use the TAB key to move from field to field; if you use the ENTER key, SupplyPro assumes you have finished filling out the form and tells you about the required fields you neglected to complete.

3. In the Product Detail area, add general product information, including name, description, manufacturer and model.

4. In the Pricing Information section, enter the values that control how the item is sold, including unit, conversion and manufacturer's suggested retail price.

   If the Sell Unit is thousand board feet or thousand square feet enter the measurements in the appropriate conversion table and click the Calculate button. The system will automatically calculate the Sell Unit Conversion for you.

   Note that the MSRP field is a reference field only and does not determine item pricing. SupplyPro uses product pricesheets to establish and maintain item prices.

5. If you want to add the item to an existing department, in the Department Information section select Existing Department and choose from the Department list. Otherwise, select I want to Create a New Department and fill in the appropriate information.

6. In the Pricing Information section, type the Default Price. This price is assigned to the default pricesheet with the current date as the effective date.

7. Click the Add New Product button.
