A Product Sourcing Report generates information of suppliers for parts or materials within the selected Product Group, the list populates with a number of suppliers for each particular item. Information includes Site address, regional geographic location, country, and min/max pricing.

The suppliers in the list are based on the materials that an item is mapped to, or if suppliers have been manually added to the system.

Open, setup and review a Product Sourcing Report.

Navigate to the 'Pivot Manager' in the 'Business' section of the 'Makersite apps' on the Makersite Dashboard.

Then scroll down and select 'Product Sourcing Report' from the list.

Type the name of the Product Group you would like to base the report on in the 'Product' field in the Information and Tools panel to the right of the page.

For this example we will use the 'Ball Pen' Product Group.

Save Report: When ticked, will not create the report on the Makersite page, instead an email will be sent to the address associated with the active Makersite account being used to indicate when the report is ready for use.

Once the Product Group is set, and any options that are required are ticked, you can then click on the blue 'Create' button in the bottom right corner of the Information and Tools panel.

If 'Save Report' is not ticked, the report will load on the page.

With the report created the whole grid view can be exported by right clicking and selecting 'Export to...' and choosing which format to export to from the list.
