Create Trade Partners

Trade Partners organizes your Supply Chain Network.  This includes Manufacturers, Trading Companies, Delivery Warehouses, Consolidators, Customs brokers and anyone involved in your Supply Chain.

1. Go to Modules > Trade Partners
2. Click the button and fill out the following:
   
   
   
   
   • Consignee – Purchasers/Owners or Delivery Locations.
   • Supplier – Manufacturers, Trading Companies, Shippers, Pick-up Locations, Origin Warehouses and Consolidators.
   • Related Party – This is applicable if the Trade Partner is a Supplier and has either common ownership or common decision makers, such as Officers, Directors and Owners.
     
3. Next step is to add an Address.  This is important and required in many scenarios, such as clearing Customs and  determining pick-up/delivery locations.
