The complete ordering process for the mSupply Link is summarised in the diagram below:
You order from a mSupply Link site by sending them a calculated purchase order. You cannot create a purchase order manually for a mSupply Link supplier. For full details about creating calculated purchase orders, please see the 6.01. Ordering stock from suppliers page.
Creating a calculated order for a mSupply Link supplier has a small difference from the process described on the page given above. After clicking on the Calculated icon on the Suppliers tab of the Navigator, select the Order from a hub supplier option in the top drop down list:
This will make a Supplier text field appear:
Type the first few characters of the supplier's name or code in the field and press the Tab key on the keyboard to select the correct one from a list of those which start with what you typed (if there is only one, it will be selected and entered for you).
When you click the OK button, the order will be calculated for all the items in the supplier's catalogue (i.e. master list - see the Setting up Catalogues section on the 12.01. Configuring the Supplier Hub page.
When you confirm the order it will be sent through the mSupply Link to the supplier's mSupply instance as a customer requisition.
