-====== Configuring the Supplier Hub ======+====== 12.01. Configuring the mSupply Link ====== 
 +The mSupply Link is an intermediary service for requesting, sending and receiving stock between separate mSupply instances. 
  
 +
 +===== Server Settings =====
 +To use the mSupply Link, you first need to define the mSupply Link URL - this is the URL to which the mSupply instances will be connecting. If you don’t know what this should be, contact us at support@msupply.foundation. 
 +
 +This can be done through the Preferences window. Navigate to the //mSupply Link// tab:
 +
 +{{ :supplier_hub:supplier_hub_1.png?600 }}
 +
 +In the **URL** field, enter the mSupply Link url that you are using. Click OK to save these details. 
 +
 +
 +
 +===== Store Settings =====
 +To use the mSupply Link, you must register at least one store on your own mSupply instance as a mSupply Link site. To do this, choose //Customer > Show customers// in the menus and find the store. Open the details window for the store by double-clicking on it. Click on the //mSupply Link// tab on the left hand side:
 +
 +{{ :supplier_hub:supplier_hub_2.png?600 }}
 +
 +In the **Site name** and **Password** fields, enter the name and password that will have been supplied to you by Sustainable Solutions.
 +
 +Finally, click on the **Register** button to register the site with the mSupply Link. A message will be displayed as shown in the above screenshot if the registration is successful.
 +
 +To interact with facilities on other mSupply installations, they must also be set up as a customer or supplier on your instance, and registered with the mSupply Link using the same process described above. However, this time only the site name needs to be entered: this must be the same site name as the one stored on the mSupply Link (contact Sustainable Solutions if you are not sure): 
 +
 +{{ :supplier_hub:pasted:20200424-143534.png?600 }}
 +
 +=== Setting up Catalogues ===
 +If you are a supplier site, you can define which goods a mSupply Link site can order from you via catalogues. All master lists that you assign to a customer will be added to their mSupply Link Catalogue for your site. They will only be able to order the items on those lists from you. 
 +
 +For details on how to assign master lists to customers, please see the [[items:master_lists#assigning_a_list_to_a_customer|4.04. Item master lists]] page.
 +
 +When you have done this, on the customer's site they will see a new master list for the supplier called //mSupply Link Catalog//. This is created by the mSupply Link, contains all the items on the master lists assigned to the customer by the supplier and does not need to be edited:

 +{{ :supplier_hub:pasted:20200527-234310.png?600 }}
