Suppliers List

When accessing the supplier management section of the Supplier Purchase Orders app, you’ll be faced with a list of existing suppliers in your app. From here, suppliers can be created, modified or removed.

Suppliers need to be created in order to be used as a source for purchase orders, and also need to be created before assignments can be made between suppliers and your BigCommerce store’s products and variants.

Supplier Options

When you click the + New Supplier button under the suppliers list, or the Edit button from any supplier’s row, you’ll move to a new page with options for creating or updating a supplier.

Many of the first options are internal and aren’t used in purchase orders. The supplier’s name will be important though, as it’s also used in the dropdown for selecting a supplier when creating a purchase order.

The next section will show dropdowns for setting this new supplier’s default settings when creating purchase orders. These settings can be overridden when creating purchase orders, but these will be the default selections.

The tax settings will control the tax rates in purchase orders using the selected tax setting’s rate to calculate the tax value.

Both payment terms and payment methods are shown on purchase order PDFs, but don’t have any other effect on purchase orders.

Last on the page is settings for the supplier’s address. This is the “ship from” section of a purchase order and is automatically set when a purchase order is being created.

Delete Supplier

When you click the Delete button from a supplier’s row, you’ll see a modal appear asking for confirmation that the supplier should be deleted. Click the Delete Supplier button to confirm deletion of the supplier.
