Supplier Master

Suppliers are companies or individuals who provide you with products or services. They are treated in exactly the same manner as Customers in ERPNext.

1. Separate Account Ledgers are created for the Supplier in the Company under “Accounts Payable”.
2. You can have multiple Addresses and Contacts for Suppliers.
3. Suppliers are categorized as Supplier Type.
4. If you set “Credit Days”, ERPNext will automatically set the due date in Purchase Invoices.

You can create a new Supplier via:

Buying > Supplier > New Supplier

or import from the Data Import Tool
