Hello and welcome to this guide! Today, we will be exploring the Active Suppliers Number Card feature in Empress, a powerful tool that’s designed to give you a snapshot of your business’s supplier network. By mastering this feature, you can stay on top of your supplier management and make more informed business decisions. So let’s get started!
Introduction: Active Suppliers Number Card
The Active Suppliers Number Card is a part of Empress’s Buying module. Its main function is to display a count of your business’s active suppliers. It’s designed to provide you with a quick, easily accessible overview of your supplier network, helping you monitor your supplier relationships and make strategic decisions based on current data.
Viewing the Active Suppliers Number Card
To view the Active Suppliers Number Card, you need to navigate to the Buying module in Empress. Here’s how to do it:
- From the main Empress dashboard, look for the ‘Modules’ section.
- Click on ‘Buying’.
- The Active Suppliers Number Card will be visible on the Buying dashboard.
The Active Suppliers Number Card shows a count of all active suppliers. An ‘active’ supplier, in this context, is a supplier that isn’t marked as ‘disabled’ in your Empress system.
Sorting and Tracking Information
The Active Suppliers Number Card has a built-in sorting and tracking mechanism. It tracks supplier data on a monthly basis and displays the count as a simple, easy-to-read number.
User Roles and Permissions
To view the Active Suppliers Number Card, users must have permission to access the ‘Buying’ module. This is typically given to roles such as Purchase Managers, Purchase Users, and other roles involved in procurement. Please consult your Empress administrator if you do not have the necessary permissions.
Conclusion: Enhancing Business Processes
The Active Suppliers Number Card is an effective tool for businesses that want to keep a close eye on their supplier relationships. By providing a clear, concise view of active suppliers, it allows businesses to track and manage their supplier network more effectively, contributing to more informed decision-making and ultimately, a more efficient procurement process.
