A **supplier** is the counterparty parts and goods are bought from. Once added, a supplier is filled into [purchasing tickets](https://workpan.com/en/doc/ticket-zakupki/) and into stock receipts in the [warehouse](https://workpan.com/en/doc/spravochnik-skladov/), so for every part it is clear where it came from and at what price.

- [The supplier card](#card)
- [Links to other sections](#links)

You can reach the **“Suppliers”** section:

- [Control panel](https://workpan.com/en/doc/control-panel/) → Miscellaneous → Purchasing → Suppliers
- Quick access menu → Purchasing → Suppliers

#### The supplier card

A supplier is added with the “Add” button and described by a name and contact details — phone, address and the responsible person orders go through.

The supplier list works the same way as the [reference books](https://workpan.com/en/doc/spravochnik-gorodov/): an entry can be edited, temporarily switched off with the “Active/Disabled” toggle, or deleted. A disabled supplier stays in the purchases of previous periods, but new orders can no longer be placed with them.
