How to use supplier risk cards

The supplier risk cards help you spot supplier-related issues quickly. They are especially useful when suppliers are linked to inventory and bills.

Top linked suppliers

• This shows suppliers with the most linked stock and bill activity.
• A supplier with many linked records may be important to your business.
• Review these suppliers regularly because stock or bill problems with them could affect daily trading.

Low-stock suppliers

• This shows suppliers connected to items currently low in stock.
• Use this to prepare supplier orders.
• If a supplier appears here often, you may need better reorder timing or a higher low-stock alert level.

Out-of-stock suppliers

• This shows suppliers connected to items that are out of stock.
• Use this to contact the supplier or review whether the item should remain active.

Unlinked inventory

• This shows inventory items that are not linked to any supplier.
• Use Review unlinked stock to find items that should have a supplier.
• Linking stock to suppliers makes reordering and reporting clearer.

Example

• If Mombasa Wholesale Suppliers appears under Low-stock suppliers, this means one or more items from that supplier need attention. You can open inventory, review the item, and decide whether to reorder.
