Supplier data from your integrations

You should not have to type in what a connected system already knows. Once a channel or QuickBooks is connected in Integrations, supplier details fill in by themselves:

| From | What fills in | |---|---| | Shopify, Wix | A supplier for each product's vendor or brand, and the unit cost it holds | | QuickBooks | A supplier for each vendor, the vendor's payment terms, unit costs from bill lines and item purchase costs, and lead times from purchase order to bill |

QuickBooks is only read. Skuvelo never writes vendors, bills or items back to it. It is read once a day, and when you choose Sync now on the connection's configure page.

A supplier's minimum order, case pack, order multiple and quoted lead time are not held by any store, marketplace or accounting system. Those come from the supplier, so import a price list for them.

Where each value came from

A supplier's page in Suppliers shows, under Where this data comes from, the source of its payment terms and of each product's unit cost, and when that source last confirmed it, for example "QuickBooks bill, 3 days ago".

When two sources disagree

If two sources report different values, Skuvelo does not pick one quietly. The value from the higher-ranked source stays in use and the other is shown beside it. Your own entry always ranks first, then a supplier price list, then QuickBooks, then the channels you sell on. Choose Use to switch to the other value, or Keep to keep the current one.

Keep also pins the value, and so does anything you type in yourself. A pinned value is never changed by a sync. If a source later reports something different, the difference is shown so you can decide. Unpin hands the field back to its source.

Suppliers that might already exist

A vendor is matched to one of your suppliers only when QuickBooks already linked them, or when the names are exactly the same (ignoring capitals and spacing). If the names are close but not the same, such as "Acme Inc" and "ACME Incorporated", nothing is written. The pair is listed under Check these matches in Suppliers:

• Same supplier links them. The next sync brings in that vendor's terms and costs.
• Different supplier keeps them apart. The next sync creates a new supplier for the vendor.

A bill line is matched to a product by the product's SKU or by an item Skuvelo exported to QuickBooks. An item whose name matches a product's name but whose SKU does not is listed for you to check in the same way.

Lead times from bills

When a bill is linked to a purchase order in QuickBooks, the days from the order to the bill count as a lead-time observation until you have received that item here. From your first receipt on, your own receipts are the measure. See Keep lead times true.
