In the suppliers list how can I group suppliers into batches or categories for ease of finding at a later stage?

Hi communityoil

It is not possible to batch suppliers in this manner,. Our products are constantly being updated and to assist us meet your requirements, and hopefully get them implemented, we encourage you to leave feedback fro within the product.

Hi,

I also feel this would be massively useful (a way to group suppliers, or at least categorise them as we do customers) and am surprised that it is not already a feature.

For instance, a company I contract for has 2 main types of suppliers, I would like to be able to run a simple report on each of these showing what has been spent in a month or what is outstanding to be paid.  I have customised various other reports for this and saved the customisations but it means double checking the customisations each time we have a new supplier as I need to 'tick' them into the customisation.

Imagine if you were running a petrol station, you might want a report showing fuel suppliers only or food and drink suppliers only.  There are literally hundreds of industries and thousands of companies who would find this extraction ability useful.   

Hello Crrie51, we do have a new feature called tagging with which you can group transactions that may be helpful in this scenario. More information on  that feature can be found here
