Default Purchasing Category: The default category should be the one most likely to be used in invoices for this supplier. We use the default category where there is no other way to determine what the correct category should be, for example if the supplier send an electronic invoice for a telesales order.

Job Title: Optional field to complete is you wish

Contact Email: It is essential for all orders placed through IndiCater to either an email address in this field or email addresses set up for depots if depots are being used. This is the email address that purchase orders need to be sent to and that credit note requests are sent to. You can add multiple emails addresses. If your supplier has depots and different email addresses for each depot, that will be set up in a different field in the supplier record and so this field can be used to store the account manager's email.

Email addresses are still required for EDI suppliers as this is how we sent a request for credit.

Telephone: The number to contact your supplier

Mobile, Main Fax, Address, Post code, Website: These are all optional field to capture data if you wish.

Once saved, you can go back into the supplier record to complete additional fields and options.
