There are two types of Suppliers in Purchase Plus, and we will show you how to add both:

Adding a Formal Supplier

1. Go to [Settings] [Accounts Payable] then click on the [View] icon.

2. Click the [Suppliers] tab, then the green [+ Supplier].

In the pop-up window, search for the Supplier from the dropdown, input the vendor code generate from your Accounts Payable System the in [* default supplier number] field.

Location code is only applicable if your Accounts Payable system requires it, this may be entered as 'PO BOX', 'OFFICE' or 'AUS' for example.

Note - If you cannot find the Supplier in the dropdown, the Supplier is not a member of Purchase Plus and will therefore need to be created as an Informal Supplier.

Your new Marketboomer Supplier has now been activated and added to your Accounts Payable hub in Purchase Plus.
​
​Note - Once you have added a Supplier to your Purchase Plus account, the Supplier needs to assign you a Catalogue. See: Add a Buyer to a Catalogue

Adding an Informal Supplier

1. Download Informal Supplier Import Template.csv. To download the template, click on the link, then on [File] [Download as] [Comma-separated values .csv-current sheet]
