Supplier

Add, remove and edit suppliers

Production

Suppliers are the companies you buy from. Their records feed deliveries, supplier returns and orders to suppliers, and their email addresses are where those documents are sent.

Permission requiredNeeds the warehouse role.

Managing suppliers requires the Warehouse administrator permission.

How it works

Open the supplier list

In the Warehouse module open Management → Supplier. The page lists your suppliers and is searchable and paginated, so you can find a supplier by name even in a long list.

The supplier list with the toolbar highlighted
Supplier list — 1 Add Supplier, 2 search, 3 a supplier row (opens the Supplier Inspector).

Add a supplier

Click Add Supplier and complete the form. Name and Address are required. You can also record contact details (phone, email), tax info (tax number), the full address (country, city, state, ZIP, street, number), free-text notes and a Loyalty Award percentage. Save to create the supplier.

The Add Supplier form with its fields highlighted
Add Supplier — 1 Name, 2 Address, 3 contact, 4 tax number, 5 Loyalty Award %, 6 notes, 7 Save.

Edit or delete in the Supplier Inspector

Open a supplier to reach the Supplier Inspector. From here you can edit its details or delete the supplier. Deleting is a soft delete: the record is kept but hidden from lists, so the documents that reference it stay intact.

What happens next

  • Saving creates or updates a supplier record that becomes selectable when you record deliveries, supplier returns and orders to suppliers.
  • The supplier's email address is used to send supplier-return and orders-to-suppliers emails.
  • Creating, editing or deleting a supplier has no effect on stock — it only changes the supplier record.
Limitation

Deleting a supplier is a soft delete: the record is retained and hidden from lists rather than erased, so existing deliveries, returns and orders that reference it are preserved.
