Add a supplier to your account

You can add suppliers individually or import them in bulk from an Excel spreadsheet. To add a new supplier, follow these steps:

1. Go to All apps , select Expenses & Bills, then select Suppliers (Take me there).
2. Select New supplier.
3. Complete the fields in the Supplier information window.
4. Select Save.

Make a supplier inactive

While you cannot delete suppliers, you can make them permanently inactive.

1. Go to All apps , select Expenses & Bills, then select Suppliers (Take me there).
2. Select Make inactive in the dropdown ▼ beside the supplier you want to make inactive.

Instead of making them inactive, consider merging accounts, customers, and suppliers.
