Suppliers

Suppliers are the companies you buy stock from. Each supplier records the contact details, address, payment terms, currency and tax number used when you order stock from them.

Suppliers are selected on purchase orders, so you can record where stock is ordered from and receive it as it arrives. You can open the Suppliers overview from the Purchase Orders page.

The Suppliers overview

The overview lists the suppliers in your store. Each row shows the supplier's company name, location, contact, phone number and email address.

Click a row to open the supplier. Use the search box and the Suppliers per page options on the right to find suppliers, and click a column heading to sort the list.

Adding a supplier

Click Add a Supplier on the right, enter the supplier's details, then click Create Supplier. The supplier records:

• Company — the supplier's company name.
• Contact — the first and last name of the person you deal with at the supplier. The Title is optional.
• Email Address and Phone — how to contact the supplier.
• Address — the supplier's mailing address.
• Payment Terms — the terms agreed with the supplier, such as 30 days.
• ABN/VAT — the supplier's tax registration number.
• Currency — the currency used when pricing this supplier's purchase orders.

Viewing and editing a supplier

Open a supplier to view their details. Click edit to change any of the supplier's details, then click Save.

The Notes field records any comments about the supplier and their orders. You can update the notes directly on the supplier page without entering edit mode — click Save Notes to store them.

Deleting a supplier

A supplier can be deleted from the supplier page, as long as no purchase orders or receipt history exist for them. Click Delete this Supplier and confirm.
