The Suppliers section allows you to add, edit, organize, and remove suppliers used throughout your dispensary. Suppliers are referenced across products, ingredients, inventory, and purchasing workflows.


What Is a Supplier?

A supplier is any person or organization that provides products or services to your dispensary. This typically includes:

  • Ingredient vendors

  • Product manufacturers

  • Distributors or wholesalers

You can create and manage multiple suppliers, and a single product or ingredient can be associated with one or more suppliers.


Viewing Suppliers

All suppliers are displayed in the Suppliers table, which provides quick access to key information.

Supplier ID

  • Each supplier has a unique Supplier ID

  • This ID may be required when:

    • Uploading products or ingredients via CSV

    • Mapping supplier data during bulk imports

  • The Supplier ID is displayed next to the supplier name in the table


Organizing Suppliers

Supplier Position

  • The Position value controls the order in which suppliers appear:

    • In the supplier list

    • In supplier selection dropdowns throughout the dispensary

  • Lower numbers appear higher in the list

This is useful if you work frequently with certain suppliers and want them to appear at the top. For example, if you have many suppliers but only a few are commonly used, assigning them a lower position value improves efficiency.


Managing Suppliers

From this section, you can:

  • Add new suppliers

  • Edit existing supplier details

  • Delete suppliers that are no longer needed

  • Reorder suppliers by adjusting their position


Summary

The Suppliers section helps you:

  • Maintain an accurate list of vendors

  • Organize suppliers for faster selection

  • Support inventory management and CSV uploads

  • Prepare for purchasing and supplier-based workflows

Keeping your suppliers up to date ensures smoother inventory tracking and product management across your dispensary.
