Managing your vendor directory

Your vendor directory holds suppliers — the companies you buy parts from. Add them once and reuse on every PO.

Where vendors live

Settings → Vendors (or Purchases → Vendors tab).

The list shows every vendor your shop uses, active and archived.

Field	What it does
Name	Required.
Contact email	For emailing POs.
Contact phone	Vendor phone number.
Account number	Your account with the vendor, if they assigned one.
Notes	Anything useful (preferred contact person, terms, delivery quirks).

The vendor is immediately available in the PO creation dropdown.

Tap the vendor → Edit. Changes apply going forward; existing POs keep the info they were created with.

Vendors you no longer use:

Archived vendors:

Behavior	Effect
PO creation dropdown	Disappear — they don't clutter the picker.
Vendor list	Stay visible under an Archived filter.
Historical POs	Kept intact — every PO ever created with them still references the vendor.

This is the right move for vendors you've stopped using but whose history matters.

Open them from the Archived view → Unarchive. They reappear in the PO dropdown.

Default payment terms per vendor — not a field today.
Default delivery address per vendor — not a field. The PO's delivery address is the linked job's address.
Multiple contacts per vendor — one contact email and phone per record. Use the notes field for additional contacts.
Vendor preferred items — a saved set of items you usually buy from a vendor. Not implemented; you pick line items per PO.
