Suppliers
Find a supplier, check its approvals and performance, and add a new supplier.
The Suppliers page lists every supplier with its approved-list status, agreements and delivery performance. Open a supplier to see its contacts, history and recent RFQs.

Supplier detail
The header shows vendor code, type, location, currency and brands. Below it:

- Approved lists & agreements: every list entry with its client, manufacturer, product type and status (approved, conditional or suspended), followed by the supplier's LTSAs with discount, lead time and end date.
- Contacts: name and email. The primary contact is marked.
- Recent RFQs: the last 20 RFQs with their status and sent date. Select an RFQ number to open the hub request.
- Purchase history (latest 30): PO, date, part, description, quantity, unit price in the PO currency, AUD price, lead time and whether delivery was on time.

How supplier data is used
The Sourcing Strategist builds the shortlist from approved lists, LTSAs, purchase history and brand representation, then scores each supplier on list priority, line coverage, performance and history. Performance also counts in the bid check score. See Sourcing and Bid check.
Good to know
- A dash in OTD or Quality means no performance record exists for the supplier yet.
- Only active suppliers are considered for the shortlist.
- To add or update many suppliers at once, use the Suppliers import on Data imports.
