Suppliers with a memory
Every supplier carries their whole history: bills, payments, returns, and the balance that results. Purchasing decisions get faster when the record argues for you.
What you get
The supplier book behind the buying
Suppliers carry their contact details, tax numbers, terms and live balances — the record every PO, bill and payment hangs off. Open one and the trading history is there: what you bought, what you paid, what went back, what remains owed.
Search matches name, phone and email; the balance beside each supplier is live from the ledger, not a cached total.
History that negotiates for you
The purchase history on a supplier is leverage: what you actually paid last time, how often they were short, what you rejected and why. When a rep quotes a price, Last Purchase on the product card and the supplier's history answer back with facts.
GRNs with rejection reasons accumulate into a supplier quality record nobody had to maintain.
Tax details where they matter
Supplier tax numbers live on the record and flow onto documents, and purchase-side tax follows your province's rules — including PST resale exemptions where provinces allow them, so inventory bought for resale is not taxed as if you were the end consumer.
One record, every consequence: the boring correctness that makes an audit short.
Frequently asked questions
Can one contact be both customer and supplier?
Yes — a contact can hold both roles, with receivable and payable sides tracked separately.
