BUZ2BUZ enables direct connections between Suppliers and retailers who use BUZ. As a supplier, you can receive customer orders directly into your sales system, and as a retailer, you can send supplier orders directly. Here's how to get started:
Getting Connected
Obtain Your Supplier's Organization Key
This key is required to connect with your supplier
If the supplier has not already provided this, you may need to email them to request the key.
Your Organisation Key can be found here https://go.buzmanager.com/Settings/BUZ
Add a new supplier (if you have not already done the before)
Navigate to Contact > Suppliers.
Select the plus + “Add Supplier” and add their details.
Job Tracking Status:
You can use an existing Job Tracking Line, but I recommend adding a new one for any supplier you are linking to.
Job Tracking Line / Production Line Setup
Access Inventory Settings
Navigate to Settings > Inventory Settings.
Select the inventory group (product) you wish to connect or Create a new Inventory Group. For help on creating new groups, refer to our Inventory Groups help documentation.
Connect to Another BUZ
At the bottom right of the selected Inventory Group page,
Select the supplier from the dropdown.
Click the tickbox for "Connect to another BUZ."
Enter your organization key and log in with the BUZ credentials that have been added to the supplier; if you are not listed in the supplier's list of customer Users, you will not have access to their Products.

supplier/wholesaler.Match your inventory group with the corresponding group from your supplier.
Mark-up percentage is the percentage you want to increase your wholesale price (buy price) by (this will determine your RRP)

Select your tax rate for your RRP
Select Save and you will be able to place orders to your supplier
Processing and Sending Orders
Once a quote is accepted, you can send the order directly to your supplier by clicking the “Send To Supplier” button. Your job tracking status will update to “Ordered on Supplier.”
Note: If an order requires a check measure, do not send it to the supplier at this stage.
Supplier Receiving Orders
The supplier/wholesaler will receive the order marked as “Awaiting Action.” The order will then proceed through the job tracking and dispatch workflow, with the status set to “Accepted.”
NOTE: To ensure orders are correctly received by the supplier and it is in Awaiting Action status, you must complete the supplier’s Extra’s questions and click Next. Skipping this step by clicking the back button, refreshing the page, going to another order, or going to another page will result in the order going into the “Needs Remote Order Finalize” status, and must be manually finalized by the supplier.
