Inventory - Add multiple suppliers for same product
When adding products from suppliers, it would be great to be able to add multiple suppliers details on one product (to save having the same item listed multiple times with each individual suppliers codes/costs etc). For example Supplier 1: Coca Cola Cans, Code: 1234 Cost: £12.99, Supplier 2: Coca Cola Cans, Code: A1244, Cost: £19.50. Rather have Coca Cola saved twice had sections within that product for multiple suppliers.

I am moving across to Xero from MYOB where I've also been using a 3rd party software that does have this ablility and it makes it so much easier as you can have a single items instead of having to create multiple items for different suppliers and then try to keep up with stock balances.
In my case, I supply trophies so i could get a simple ribbon for a medal from 5 different suppliers. Through the 3rd party app, I can consolidate this to different suppliers with their part numbers and pricing. Upon placing the order, it will automatically apply the details for that particular supplier, but it will add it to the stock level and sell price for the single unit.
I have just stopped using the 3rd party package due to other reasons, but now looking for another package with similar ability.
Although MYOB's inventory is better than Xero's, it doesn't offer this feature neither so the only solution is 3rd party apps. -

That’s a great suggestion! Having the ability to assign multiple suppliers to the same product would definitely make inventory management more efficient and reduce unnecessary duplication. It would also streamline pricing comparisons and stock tracking.
Speaking of efficiency, if you're looking for durable and cost-effective packaging solutions, custom cardboard boxes https://custompackaginghouston.com/product/cardboard-boxes/ can be a great way to keep your products secure while optimizing storage space. Hope your feature request gets implemented soon!
