Manage Suppliers

A supplier is the vendor you buy stock from. In Tanqory you create and reuse suppliers inside the Purchase Orders workflow: each purchase order names one supplier, so saving a supplier once lets you pick it again on every future order without retyping its address and contact details.

There is no separate "Suppliers" page; suppliers are managed from the Purchase Orders page. You add one the first time you raise an order to that vendor, and it is then available in the Supplier list for later orders.

Before you begin

• Your role includes purchase-order access, so the Purchase Orders page opens for you.
• Have the vendor's company name ready: it is the only required field.
• Open Products > Purchase Orders in the admin sidebar, then open or create a purchase order.

Steps

1. Open the Purchase Orders page

In the admin sidebar go to Products, then Purchase Orders. The list shows one row per order; the Supplier column is the vendor each order is assigned to. This is where saved suppliers are reused.

2. Click Create purchase order and open the Supplier & Destination section

A new purchase order opens with a Supplier & Destination section holding four fields: Supplier (the vendor), Destination (the location that receives the stock), Payment terms (optional), and Currency. You must choose a Supplier before you can add products to the order.

4. Fill the supplier record, then Create supplier

The Create new supplier form opens. Only Company is required (marked with a red asterisk); every other field is optional. Fill what you have and click Create supplier; the supplier is saved and selected on the current order, and is available in the Supplier list from now on.

Verify the result

After you click Create supplier, the supplier name appears in the Supplier field of the open purchase order, and selecting Select supplier on a future order lists it as an existing option. The product search on the order also becomes available once a supplier is set.

Supplier fields

The Create new supplier form holds these fields:

Edit or delete a supplier

You can update a saved supplier's details, or remove it, from the same Supplier dropdown. In the dropdown, hover the supplier you want to change and click the pencil (Edit) icon on its row.

The Edit supplier dialog opens with the supplier's current details, under the same fields as the create form: Company (required), Contact name, Email, and the Address block. Change what you need and click Save changes to keep the edits. To remove the supplier from your store entirely, click Delete.
