About Catalogue Mode
Catalogue Mode is a feature that allows internal supplier outlets to make their stock items available for other outlets to order. The supplying outlet defines which stock lines are included in their catalogue, giving full control over what can be requested.
Staff in destination outlets can view the catalogue to see available stock—even if those items don’t currently exist in their own outlet. They can then add the required items to their stock list and raise a requisition order as usual, making stock sharing and ordering between outlets smoother and more efficient.
Enabling Catalogue Mode
To enable Catalogue Mode, go to Admin, open Settings, and under the Requisition Settings heading, check Enable Requisition Catalogue for the outlet.
Note: This setting is specific to the outlet and will be read-only at the corporate level.
Managing Suppliers in the Catalogue
After enabling and saving the setting, all suppliers in the current outlet are automatically included in the catalogue, along with their stock items.
If you want to exclude a supplier from the catalogue, go to Admin, open Address Book, select the supplier, then in the Supplier Settings tab, uncheck Available in Catalogue and click Save.
Note: When a supplier is excluded, all their stock items are also removed from the catalogue. In the Stock Maintenance page, the In Catalogue column for these stocks will be unchecked and read-only.
You can include the supplier back in the catalogue at any time by checking Available in Catalogue and clicking Save.
Managing Stock Items in the Catalogue
If you want to remove specific stock items from the catalogue, go to Stock, open Stock Maintenance, select the supplier, locate the stock item you want to remove, uncheck In Catalogue, and click Save.
Note: Stock items excluded in this way will not be automatically re-added if Catalogue Mode is later disabled and re-enabled. To re-enable, go to Admin, then Settings, and you will need to include the items again from the Stock Maintenance page manually.
Any stock item can be added back to the catalogue at any time by checking In Catalogue and saving the changes.
Once Catalogue Mode is set up, staff in the destination outlets can view the catalogue, allocate stock items, and create requisitions. For detailed instructions on allocating stocks from the catalogue, see Catalogue mode for destination outlets.
