# Suppliers

The Suppliers settings page lets you manage supplier and vendor records used across FleetFusion. Suppliers are referenced in work orders, document management, and parts sourcing, providing a central directory of the companies you work with.

## Overview

Go to **Settings > Suppliers** to view and manage your supplier records. The page displays a data grid of all configured suppliers with options to add, edit, and delete entries.

## What Suppliers Are Used For

* **Work orders** -- When creating or managing work items, you can assign a supplier to track who is performing the work or supplying parts.
* **Document management** -- Documents can be linked to suppliers, making it easy to find invoices, quotes, and correspondence from a specific vendor.
* **Parts sourcing** -- Supplier records provide a reference for where parts and services are procured.
* **Cost centre assignment** -- Each supplier can be assigned to a cost centre for financial tracking.

## How to Add a Supplier

1. Go to **Settings > Suppliers**.
2. Click **+ Add Supplier**.
3. Enter the supplier's **Name** and contact details.
4. Assign a **Cost Centre** if applicable.
5. Click **Save**.

## How to Edit a Supplier

1. Find the supplier in the data grid and click the **Edit** action.
2. Update the details as needed.
3. Click **Save**.
