The Vendors module allows you to build and maintain a list of suppliers. If you have the Purchasing module then you'll obviously need to manage your list of vendors so that you can place purchase orders and track deliveries.

Even if you don't have or need the purchasing module you might still wish to maintain a list of vendors because the price of each item in your inventory is tied to the supplier of that item. Each item can also have a number of suppliers each with a different price.

miniMRP stores the price of each item in your inventory alongside the suppliers meaning that even if you don't wish to maintain any suppliers at all then you should still create at least one Dummy supplier so that you can allocate prices to items in your inventory.

Open the Addresses Sub Menu and select 'Suppliers'. The vendor's details window appears.

A new vendor is added by typing the name/address details in the text boxes across the top of the window.
