Import suppliers and supplier pricing

Import your vendors and the per-item costs you buy from them.

Updated June 21, 20261 min read

Suppliers and their pricing power your purchasing workflow — once imported, costs pre-fill automatically when you raise a purchase order. Import suppliers first, then pricing.

Step 1: Import suppliers

  1. In the Import app, choose Suppliers and download the template.
  2. Enter one supplier per row with a unique name.
  3. Add contact, address, default currency, and payment terms.
  4. Upload, map columns, preview, and run.

Step 2: Import supplier pricing

Supplier pricing links a supplier to an item at a specific cost, so both must already exist before you import it.

  1. Choose Supplier pricing and download the template.
  2. Each row references an existing supplier name and an existing item SKU.
  3. Enter the unit cost, and optionally the supplier’s part number and minimum order quantity.
  4. Upload, map columns, preview, and run.

Import items and suppliers before pricing. If a row references a SKU or supplier name that doesn’t exist yet, that row fails with a “record not found” error.

How pricing is used

Field Effect
Unit cost Pre-fills the line cost on a new PO
Supplier part number Shows on the PO sent to the supplier
Minimum order quantity Warns when a PO line falls below it
