Suppliers are manufacturers or resellers from whom the store purchases items it sells.

To access suppliers functionality, go to 'Products > Suppliers'.

Any suppliers you set up will be available in the 'suppliers' selection when editing or creating a product.

Setting the supplier is useful to help with managing stock in the back end of Kartris. You can list all the products from a particular supplier from the suppliers page – this makes it easy to locate all items from a particular source if you have a recall or other issue to attend to.

Also, you can filter the stock level warnings ('Products > Stock Levels') by supplier. This allows you to see which items need ordering from any particular supplier while preparing an order.
