Definition

A supplier in MANSOQ is a vendor or distributor that you order supplies from. MANSOQ stores a supplier as one type of organization. MANSOQ shows suppliers in their own list, separate from Governance organizations and from Responsibilities.

Suppliers are a flat list. A supplier has no parent organization and no child organizations.

Where to find it

Select Organizations in the Admin sidebar. Then select Suppliers. The page shows the heading Suppliers and the description Manage your product suppliers and vendor organizations. The supplier list is on the left. Select a supplier to see its name and description on the right.

Key Attributes

Components What it captures
Name The name of the vendor or distributor. This field is required.
Description More detail about the supplier. This field is optional.

On-screen wording

MANSOQ uses one shared organization form for suppliers. The create sheet shows the title Create Department/Team. The edit sheet shows the title Edit Department/Team. The field hints on the sheet also use department and team wording. The sheet still creates or updates a supplier.

Use in purchase orders

You select a supplier when you create a purchase order. On the purchase order form, the field is labeled Vendor/Distributor. Create the supplier first, then create the purchase order.
