Add your suppliers
Record who you buy from so materials cost from real prices.
What this is for
Suppliers are the businesses you buy materials and hardware from. Adding them lets you attach real prices to your materials, raise purchase orders, and set a default supplier for each thing you stock.
Before you start
- You are signed in with catalogue access.
Step by step
- 1
Open Purchasing → Suppliers from the sidebar.
- 2
Click + New supplier and enter the supplier name. Addresses and contacts are added afterwards on the supplier's detail page.
- 3
Save. You can now link this supplier to the materials and items you buy from them.
- 4
Repeat for each supplier you use regularly.
Tips & gotchas
- You do not need every supplier on day one — add the ones behind your common materials first.
- To load many suppliers at once, use Bulk import instead of typing them in.
