Manage Manual Purchase Price and Stock

Background

Historically, Nettailer allowed resellers to manually input a single purchase price and stock quantity directly on a product via the Product Editor. This data was stored against an underlying “Nettailer supplier” as a one-to-one relationship with the supplier-product-record (1:1).

To better support more advanced use cases—such as assigning multiple manual suppliers (reseller suppliers) to the same product—we’ve made a fundamental technical change: this information is now managed at the supplier level, rather than directly on the product.

This update also enables us to expand the data fields available, which would not be practical to handle within the existing product editor interface.

Change from Nettailer 25.3

When creating new own-brand products, the process now takes place in two steps:

1. Create the product

2. Add supplier information

To streamline this process, we’ve introduced smart logic to the Save button in the product editor.

Recommended Process for Creating a New Product

1. Go to the Product Editor and click “Create New Product”.

2. Fill in the core product details (name, part number, etc.).

3. Click Save (do not use “Save & Close”). Nettailer will automatically create a supplier record in the background and open it directly for editing.

4. Enter supplier-specific information such as purchase price and stock levels.

5. Click Save & Close to complete the setup.

Update or adding Supplier Data

To update or add purchase price or stock on existing products:

1. Search for the product in the Product Editor.

2. Scroll to the Supplier Extensions section (bottom of page).

3. Select the relevant supplier (typically the Nettailer supplier).

4. Edit the fields as required and save.

To add a new reseller supplier to an existing product, click “Add Supplier”.
