How to add your suppliers of goods and services to your trade network
Adding your Suppliers to your trade network
Adding your suppliers of goods and services to your trade network is an important part of setting up and maintaining your workspace. This step adds the supplier entity to your Supplier drop down list, allowing you to select them as the recipient of purchase orders or payments from you, or as the source of an invoice or quote in a trade milestone.
To add a Supplier:
1. Click on the Suppliers tab.
2. Click + Add New
3. Select the Supplier category, “Goods” or “Services”, enter contact information and the country where the supplier is located and then click Save.
Tip: Use “Goods” for any physical product. Examples of the “Services” category include: suppliers of logistics, shipping or customs brokerage services, insurance providers, engineering, etc.
Please note that Suppliers can't be edited, so be sure to double-check the information you enter. Also make sure to give the Supplier a clear, unique name that will distinguish it from any Suppliers you may add in the future.
