| Contact | Contact person |
| Phone | Contact phone |
| Address | Address |

1.2 Action Buttons
There are two actions at the top right:
- Edit: Opens Edit Supplier to modify the fields.
- Delete: After a confirmation, deactivates this supplier and removes it from the Supplier List. Purchase orders that already used this supplier are unaffected and keep their original supplier info; but after deactivation it cannot be brought back or reactivated from the screen.
2. FAQ
2.1 FAQ
▪ Is the data really gone after "Delete"?
Deleting actually deactivates the supplier: it disappears from the supplier list and the purchase order dropdown, but purchase orders that already reference it keep their original supplier info — nothing is cleared. There just isn't an on-screen entry point to reactivate it afterward.
▪ Does changing "Default Currency" or "Tax Rate" affect existing purchase orders?
No. The default currency and tax rate only fill in automatically when you pick this supplier on a new purchase order; existing purchase orders keep the values entered at the time and won't change because you later edited the supplier record.
▪ How does the "Status" field become "Inactive"?
A newly created supplier defaults to "Active". When you click "Delete" on this page (deactivate), it becomes "Inactive" and is removed from the list.
▪ Can't find a field to fill in?
A supplier's fields are fixed (name, code, contact info, address, payment terms, default currency and tax rate, note). To change their values, click "Edit".
▪ Why can I open this page but not find the supplier in the list?
The supplier list shows only "Active" suppliers. If this one was deleted (deactivated), its detail page URL still opens, but it won't appear in the list.
2.2 Notices
⚠️ Important
- After deletion (deactivation) you cannot bring the supplier back or reactivate it from the screen — make sure you no longer work with it before deleting
- Deletion does not clear the supplier info on existing purchase orders, but the supplier can no longer be selected on new purchase orders
💡 Tip: If you're only pausing orders with a supplier and might work with it again later, don't delete it — just keep the record.
