This article pertains to the Store Setup Wizard introduced in the Order Manager version 5.804.
There are three pages in the Products & Inventory section of the Setup Wizard:
Set up Your Suppliers
Track Quantity-on-Hand
Products & Inventory
The Add/Edit button on this page takes you to the Suppliers screen in the Order Manager where you can add your Suppliers by manually typing their information.
You can also add your suppliers by importing a text, database, Excel, or other file into the Order Manager. This method is preferable if you have a large list of suppliers. For information on importing your suppliers from a file, see the Import Suppliers section of the Import Suppliers, Customers, Inventory, or Cost, Price, Weight and/or Supplier SKU article.
Follow the steps below to manually add suppliers:
Click the Add/Edit Suppliers button to open the View Suppliers screen.
At the top of the View Suppliers screen, click the Add button. Type the supplier's information and click Save when you are finished. Repeat for each supplier you want to add.
When you are finished adding Suppliers, close the View Suppliers screen. The supplier(s) you just added will appear in the Current list of suppliers box on the Setup Wizard screen.
On this screen, choose whether or not the Order Manager will track the quantity-on-hand for each of your products and how you want to program to handle backorders. Tracking quantity-on-hand is important for asset tracking, reporting, and generating purchase orders. If you want to use the Order Manager's Purchase Order System to automatically generate POs, this setting must be set to Yes.
The default settings here are Yes - Track the quantity-on-hand, and if the quantity-on-hand is less than the quantity ordered, then the program will fill as much of the order as is possible, and backorder the remainder. These are the recommended settings.
Note: This setting pertains to the Order Manager only; it does not establish inventory synchronization (i.e. "real-time inventory tracking) with your Web store. Inventory Synchronization is set up separately and not available with all shopping carts supported by the Order Manager. For more information, see the article, Inventory Synchronization.
On the Products & Inventory screen, only Use Multi Level Pricing is checked by default.
If you want the Order Manager to Auto Generate Barcodes when you manually add new products or create sub-SKUs, check the box and select the number of digits from the drop-down list.
Check the Track Quantity on Hand adjustments box if you want the Order Manager to track QOH for your products. For more information about Track Quantity on Hand adjustments, see the article, Quantity on Hand.
Selecting the Use Multi Level Pricing option means you can have multiple price levels for any given product (i.e., Retail Price, Wholesale Price, Sale Price, etc.). The price levels you create here will appear as fields on the Pricing tab of the View Inventory screen, where you can enter different price amounts.
To create your price levels:
Fill in the numbered Level fields with the pricing levels you plan to use, beginning with Level 1. You can leave the name Price as your Level 1 name or type over it with a different name (you need at least one price level and can have as many as 10).
When you are finished with this page, click the next arrow at the bottom of the screen 
to proceed to the next section.
