Manage suppliers
Suppliers are the businesses you buy from. In Growmax ARC you can see each supplier's lead time, minimum order value, and performance data at a glance, and open a Supplier 360 record for the complete picture of the relationship.
Before you start
- Nothing is required to create a supplier. Once a supplier exists, you can raise purchase orders for them. See Create and manage purchase orders.
Browse the supplier list
- Go to Suppliers.
- Browse your suppliers — the list shows each supplier's lead time, minimum order value, and performance data at a glance.
Partners > Suppliers lists every supplier with its code, contact and status.
Create or edit a supplier
- Go to Suppliers and create a new supplier, or open an existing one to edit it.
- Enter the supplier's details, including their contacts and addresses.
- Save the supplier.
Use the Supplier 360 record
Open a supplier to see a complete view of the relationship:
| Tab / Area | What you see and do |
|---|---|
| Payables | What you currently owe the supplier |
| Purchase orders | Orders placed with the supplier |
| Invoices | The supplier's invoices |
| Payments | Payments made to the supplier |
| Contacts & addresses | Manage the supplier's contacts and addresses |
The supplier record: contacts, terms, and the purchase documents raised against it.
Tips
- Check lead time and minimum order value before raising a purchase order — they are visible right in the supplier list.
- Use the Payables tab together with the Outstanding (AP) aging report to stay on top of what you owe. See View accounts payable outstanding.
