Credit Suppliers

Credit Suppliers are companies who can buy Product(s) from and also sell Product(s) to the Shop Owner. They will be granted Credit Limit and also permission to Sell Product(s) to the Shop Owner. With the Credit Limit, the Credit Suppliers can purchase Product(s) from the Shop Owner. Similarly, as the Supplier, they can sell Per Unit Product(s) to the Shop Owner. Both types of transactions will reflect on their Ledger Breakdown section.

Credit Suppliers could be selling Per Unit Product(s) like RAMs, Mice, Keyboards, and flash drives etc. Suppliers are renowned brands like Ryans Computer, UCC, or Star Tech. What differentiates the Credit Suppliers from the Credit Customers is that they have the permission to sell Product(s) which Credit Customers do not have.

The list of Credit Suppliers can be found under Customers module where Owed amount, Due amount, and issued Credit Limit will be visible for each Credit Supplier. Here, New Dhaka Computers has Credit Limit of 5,000 BDT and Due amount of 1,100 BDT which means they will get 1,100 BDT from the Shop Owner. Conversely, Mohammadpur Computers has Credit Limit of 5,000 BDT and Owed amount of 2,000 BDT which means they will pay 2,000 BDT to the Shop Owner. Check their Credit Information by clicking on View that will redirect to the Customer Dashboard.
