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
- In the Import app, choose Suppliers and download the template.
- Enter one supplier per row with a unique name.
- Add contact, address, default currency, and payment terms.
- 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.
- Choose Supplier pricing and download the template.
- Each row references an existing supplier name and an existing item SKU.
- Enter the unit cost, and optionally the supplier’s part number and minimum order quantity.
- 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 |
