Suppliers

Use Inventory → Suppliers to maintain the supplier master data used by purchase orders.

What supplier records store

Supplier records are kept in supplier_account and include:

• supplier code and supplier name
• address and contact details
• active / inactive status
• notes
• an optional default currency code for new purchase orders

V1 maintenance rules

• suppliers are maintained in their own directory, not only inside the purchase-order screen
• inactive suppliers stay available on historic purchase orders that already reference them
• once a supplier has linked purchase orders, v1 uses deactivation rather than deletion
• purchase orders store a supplier snapshot so later edits to the live supplier record do not rewrite historic documents
