The Suppliers page is where you manage all supplier-related information used across inventory planning, purchase orders, and cost tracking in sellerboard.
It acts as a centralized supplier directory, allowing you to store contact and commercial details once and reuse them consistently when creating purchase orders. This helps ensure accurate currency handling, cleaner workflows, and more reliable cost reporting.
Use the Suppliers page to:
- Maintain a structured list of suppliers
- Standardize supplier currency and payment terms
- Speed up purchase order creation
- Keep supplier-related data consistent across inventory and COGS workflows
What a supplier represents in sellerboard
A supplier in sellerboard represents a business entity you purchase inventory from.
Supplier profiles are primarily used when creating Purchase Orders, but their data also supports inventory forecasting and cost accuracy.
Supplier information does not affect profitability directly on its own, but it becomes relevant once linked to purchase orders and incoming stock.
Supplier information and fields
Each supplier profile can store operational and administrative details, including:
- Supplier name
- Default currency
- Contact information (name, address, phone, email, website)
- Payment terms and due dates
- Internal comments or notes
This information is meant for internal use and supplier communication, not for customer-facing documents.
Adding a new supplier
How do I add a supplier?
- Go to Inventory → Suppliers.
- Click Add.
- Fill in the supplier details.
- Click Save.
Once saved, the supplier becomes available in the supplier dropdown when creating or editing purchase orders.
Editing or deleting suppliers
Supplier data can be updated at any time.
How do I edit or delete a supplier?
- Locate the supplier in the list.
- Click the three-dot (⋯) menu.
- Choose Edit or Delete.
Deleting a supplier removes it from the list, but does not retroactively change existing purchase orders that were already created with that supplier.
Linking suppliers to purchase orders
Suppliers are linked to purchase orders during PO creation or editing.
How does supplier selection affect a purchase order?
When you select a supplier in a purchase order:
- The supplier’s default currency is applied to the PO
- All product and transportation costs are entered in that currency
- sellerboard automatically converts values into your account’s base currency for reporting
This ensures consistent financial analysis even when working with suppliers in different currencies.
Supplier currency and cost accuracy
Setting the correct supplier currency is essential for accurate cost tracking.
Supplier currency:
- Defines how costs are entered in purchase orders
- Is used when creating COGS batches from closed POs
- Is converted automatically for dashboards, reports, and profitability calculations
This allows you to work with suppliers globally while keeping your financial data consistent.
Finding suppliers
How do I search for a supplier?
Use the search bar at the top of the Suppliers page to filter by supplier name.
This is useful when managing a large number of suppliers.
