Suppliers
Who you buy from, in what currency, and what you currently owe them.
A supplier is a company you buy from. Every purchase points at one, and the balance shown here is the running total of what has been bought and not yet paid.
1Open the list
Go to Suppliers.
The columns are Name, Code, Contact, Phone, Currency, Balance and Active.
Currency varies by supplier, and that is the point: the demo carries local
suppliers in USD alongside CNY for Guangzhou and TRY for Istanbul.
2Add one
Press New supplier.
Beyond the name and contact details, two fields decide how money is recorded:
- Currency — the one this supplier invoices in
- Exchange rate — their rate against your own currency
What happens next
Balance is not typed in and not editable here. It is the sum of what posted purchases have added and payments have taken away.
A balance that looks wrong is a document that is wrong — find the purchase, not the supplier.
A supplier with history cannot simply be removed. Switch them inactive: they stop being offered on new purchases, and every existing document still reads correctly.
