A product can have multiple Suppliers defined for it but one of those Suppliers must be nominated as the preferred Supplier. To change the preferred supplier of a product, type the new supplier code into the data entry field you see after selecting the  'Preferred Supplier'  option. Refer also to the  Advanced Supplier Search  in the  ProStix v4.8 What's New User Guide  for information about the advanced Supplier search options.
