Adding suppliers

By adding your list of suppliers to Breww, you can associate specific stock items with individual suppliers, ensuring full traceability of the stock items you receive and assign to your batches and products. You will then be able to raise purchase orders to suppliers and receive your stock items through inventory receipts.

There are three ways that you can bring in your suppliers into Breww:

1. The Inventory suppliers importer
2. From your Accountancy package
3. Create them individually

1. Inventory suppliers importer

You can import a full list of your suppliers into Breww by heading to Settings->Data imports and updates->Inventory suppliers and following the Data import guide.

A supplier who is also a customer

You will notice that there are fields in the suppliers imports such as Price book and Billing address; in Breww, you have the ability for your supplier also to be listed as a customer, allowing you to both buy and sell to the business created. If you never sell to the supplier, you can leave these fields blank on this import. If you do also sell goods to a supplier, you can complete these fields on the import and then head to Stock items->Suppliers->View suppliers after the import. If you then choose the supplier and select Edit, you will also be able to mark the Customer checkbox on the supplier and hit Save. Your other customers will be imported into Breww later in the getting started guide.

2. Bring in your suppliers from your accountancy package

If you would like to bring your suppliers into Breww from your accountancy software, you can do this by following the Accountancy software integrations help article. This has the added advantage of creating the mapping between your suppliers in your accountancy software and Breww as you download the suppliers.

3. Creating your suppliers individually

You can alternatively create your suppliers individually (like you'd likely do going forward) by heading to Stock items->Suppliers->New supplier.
