Suppliers

Open Settings → Suppliers to view the supplier records available to the current lab. Parts can have supplier listings, and purchasing and inventory records can retain supplier provenance. See Parts and Purchasing for those workflows.

System-managed and custom suppliers

ElecParts provides system-managed suppliers for supported distributors. Their rows have no edit or delete actions. Their names are also used by specific import integrations.

An Admin can select Create Supplier to add a custom supplier, or use the row actions to rename or delete a custom supplier. Adding a supplier record does not add a document parser for that supplier. Supplier document imports are available only for the suppliers listed in Supplier Document Import.

A custom supplier cannot be deleted while it is referenced by supplier listings, purchase lists or items, inventory drafts, or stock provenance. Remove or replace those references first.
