How to Add a Supplier in SellarPro
To add a supplier in SellarPro, open Contacts → Suppliers → Add, enter the business name and phone number, set the contact type to Supplier, and save. You can then record purchases and track what you owe them.
Before you start
You need the supplier's business name and a phone number. Everything else — address, TIN, opening balance — can be added later.
Steps to add a supplier
- Open Contacts and choose Suppliers.
- Click Add.
- Set Contact Type to Supplier. Choose "Both" only if you also sell to them.
- Enter the Business Name and the Mobile number.
- Fill in the Pay term if you buy on credit — for example 30 days — so SellarPro can tell you when a payment is due.
- Add an Opening Balance only if you already owe this supplier money today.
- Click Save.
What happens next
The supplier is available the next time you record a purchase. From then on, SellarPro tracks every purchase from them, every payment you make, and the balance outstanding, all on their contact page.
Tips
One supplier, one record. Creating a second record for the same company because the name was spelled differently splits their balance across two pages, and neither will be right.
Common problems
The supplier does not appear when recording a purchase
The contact type is probably Customer. Edit the contact and set it to Supplier or Both.
The balance owing looks wrong
Check whether an opening balance was entered as well as the historic purchases — entering both counts the same debt twice.
