The Suppliers window

Entering supplier records saves you time if you work with the same suppliers regularly. You can record their details which can then be recalled whenever you enter your purchase transactions. Supplier records help you to manage discounts and ensure you make payments on time.

This window shows all of your supplier accounts and associated balances. You can use the options in this window to create and manage your supplier records. You can customise the window so that the information that is most important to you is immediately visible using configurable columns and you can filter the records that appear in this list by using a search.
