Shadow supplier groups are used to provide stock items with specific values associated with the group to which they belong, for instance if stock item A is linked to shadow supplier X, group 1 and group 1 is set up with an alternative supplier of Company K, then stock item A will have an alternative supplier of company K when the information is copied to the main stock file.

The shadow supplier default group settings are used to allocate values in a more general way, for example it may be that most stock items fall into groups where the alternative supplier is company P, in which case the alternative supplier section for these groups should be left blank and the shadow supplier X default group should be set up with the alternative supplier of company P.  When information is then copied to the main stock file any stock item linked to shadow supplier X and group 1 would have an alternative supplier of company K but all other stock items linked to shadow supplier X would have an alternative supplier of company P.  The advantage of using the default group in this way is that if the information changes, for instance the alternative supplier for the majority of the stock items is changed from company P to company T then only the default group information requires updating.

Summary

Shadow supplier groups are used to provide stock items with specific values associated with the group to which they belong, for instance if stock item 'A' is linked to shadow supplier 'X', group '01' and group '01' is set up with an alternative supplier of Company 'K', then stock item 'A' will have an alternative supplier of company 'K' when the information is copied to the main stock file.

The individual group values e.g. alternative supplier Company K in group 1, will always overwrite the default values. If no value is set in a group field then the default group value will be used.
