What this page is for

This page holds the sourcing options per product - how each product is bought and from whom. Expand a product row to see its suppliers, and set the terms for each one. When a product can be bought from more than one supplier, this is where you decide how orders are split between them. These terms shape every reorder Spherecast recommends: which supplier it goes to, how big it has to be, how much it will cost, and how long it takes to arrive.

​
What you can set

The page can filter to show only missing suppliers, and it shows how many replenishable items still lack a supplier - so you can see at a glance which products can’t yet be ordered.

​
How it affects planning

Supply share splits a recommended reorder across suppliers. If a product needs 1,000 units and two suppliers are set at 70% and 30%, Spherecast proposes roughly 700 to the first and 300 to the second, before rounding. MOQ, reorder multiple, and lead time then shape each order. MOQ raises a small order up to the minimum the supplier accepts. The reorder multiple rounds the quantity to a whole lot. Lead time decides how early the order has to be placed to arrive in time, and price breaks reward larger orders with a lower unit cost. Together these turn a raw need into a realistic, orderable quantity.

​
Step by step: split a product across two suppliers

  1. Find the product and expand it to see its suppliers.
  2. Add a second supplier and enter its Supplier SKU.
  3. Set the Supply share for each so the two add up to 100% (for example 60% and 40%).
  4. Enter each supplier’s MOQ, Reorder multiple, Prod. lead time, and Purchase price (with any price breaks).
  5. Save, and check the next recommended reorder splits the way you expect.

​
Example

A product reorders in lots. Supplier A is set at 70%, MOQ 200, reorder multiple 50, 21-day lead time. Supplier B is at 30%, MOQ 100, reorder multiple 25. A 900-unit need splits to about 630 and 270; each is then rounded up to its lot size and lifted to the MOQ if it falls short, and Spherecast places each order early enough to cover its lead time.
Tip: Use the only missing suppliers filter to clear the backlog of replenishable products that can’t be ordered yet. Supplier terms and contacts live under Suppliers & co-manufacturers; the product’s own reorder rules live on General.
