Print the negotiation reports
The negotiation reports are designed to help you get the best price from your suppliers. There are two reports:
- The first one lists all the suppliers for an item.
- The second report lists all the items provided by a supplier. You can use these reports to decide which suppliers to contact and what items they supply.
