# Suppliers

**Suppliers** are contacts from whom you receive products or services.  
Having them well loaded helps you organize receiving, payments, and future purchases.

## Create and edit suppliers

1. In the **Contacts** module, filter by **Supplier** type.
2. Click **"New contact"** and select **Supplier** type.
3. Complete:
   - Legal name.
   - Tax ID (CUIT) / fiscal identification.
   - Contact data (phone, email).
   - Address and city.
4. Save.

To edit, simply open the supplier from the list and adjust necessary fields.

## Supplier detail

Opening a supplier (`Contacts` → Suppliers → View) shows:

- Contact details.
- **Total purchased**, **amount due** (purchase-invoice balance), and invoices with a balance.
- A **purchase invoices** table with Total, Paid, and Balance (date filter).

Customer credit score does not apply to suppliers: this view shows what your business owes the supplier.

## Relationship with inventory and receiving

When you record a **merchandise receiving**:

- You can link it to a specific supplier.
- This leaves a clear history of which products you receive from each supplier.

Over time you'll be able to:

- See which suppliers are most relevant for your business.
- Review purchase conditions and terms.
