A supplier record is the other side of a customer — it's who a branch buys stock from rather than who it sells to. Each supplier holds its name, phone, email, and mailing address, plus its own tax registration number for suppliers whose paperwork requires it printed on documents.
Suppliers carry no balance or stock of their own; they exist purely as a contact directory that every purchase order references. A supplier's tax number is informational only — it never feeds into any tax calculation, which is always driven by the tax group on each purchased product, exactly as it is for a sale.
Key capabilities
- Store a supplier's contact details and tax registration number
- Deactivate a supplier no longer in use, without deleting its purchase history
- Link every purchase order to exactly one supplier
- Keep a clean, searchable list of every vendor the business works with
This keeps buying organized the same way selling is, with one consistent place to manage who the business trades with on either side.
