The Vendors tool helps you manage the vendors you work with. Go to Products > Vendors to search for vendors, edit vendor information, and add new vendors.

Things to consider

• Vendors are required to receive inventory.

Add a new vendor

1. Click the Add vendor button.
2. Fill out the Add Vendor page with applicable information for your vendor.
   Notes: 
   • Fields with a red asterisk denote a required field.
      
   • The Vendor Abbreviation can used in custom package ID, batch ID, and SKU formats.
3. Click Save.

Remove a vendor

Vendor records cannot be deleted, but you can mark a vendor inactive if there is a duplicate entry or you no longer do business with that vendor.

1. From Products > Vendors, select the vendor in question.
2. Change the Status toggle to Inactive.
3. Click Save.

Inactive vendors are hidden from the Vendor list unless you check the Show inactive vendors checkbox, and are also hidden from Vendor selection fields elsewhere in Dutchie POS.
