Suppliers

 

Purpose

The Suppliers List allows suppliers to be created, edited and deleted. The supplier is a mandatory entry on a project purchase order record and optional on a project expense record.

 

Operation

 To create a new supplier, click the New button.

 To edit or delete supplier details, click the edit options in the in-line menu for the row you wish to edit.

 

The edit pages are separated into smaller edit pages which are only accessible after the supplier record has been created. This is because some items (such a supplier contacts) may only be created once the main record exists. Many items are optional and may not be required so have been moved onto optional pages.
