# Products — Sourcing

> How each product is bought — suppliers, supply share, lot sizes, MOQ, lead time, and pricing.

## 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

| Column                     | What it means                                                                                                                                                                     |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Supplier**               | Who you buy the product from.                                                                                                                                                     |
| **Supplier SKU**           | The supplier's own code for the product.                                                                                                                                          |
| **Supply share**           | The percentage of the product's reorders routed to this supplier. The shares across all suppliers must add up to **100%**. The largest share is effectively the primary supplier. |
| **Reorder multiple**       | The lot size — order quantities are rounded to multiples of this number.                                                                                                          |
| **Prod. lead time (days)** | The production lead time — how long the supplier needs before goods are ready.                                                                                                    |
| **MOQ**                    | Minimum Order Quantity — the smallest amount the supplier will accept on an order.                                                                                                |
| **Purchase price**         | The unit price, with quantity-based **price breaks** (the price steps down as you order more).                                                                                    |

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](/guide/network/suppliers-co-manufacturers); the product's own reorder rules live on [General](/general).
