The supplier register
Suppliers › Supplier list maintains the companies you buy from. The page is a searchable list with an add/edit form (the same maintenance pattern used across the system).

How suppliers connect to the rest
- Products — each product has a default supplier and a supplier reference (their article number) on its Settings tab. Products can also carry additional supplier rows in the multi-price & barcode manager, each with its own purchase price.
- Purchase orders — the supplier on a purchase order drives supplier-specific buy prices (switch them off with Ignore supplier pricing), and the supplier note can be copied into the purchase note.
- Reports — current stock grouped by supplier lives in the supplier stock report, handy for checking what you can order from whom.
- Product import — the product list's supplier column and filter let you review a supplier's assortment at a glance.
There is no lead-time field on the supplier itself — expected arrival is set per purchase order via its delivery date.
