Supplier directory

The Suppliers list is the directory of every supplier you’ve configured. This page covers what’s on the list, the special “Default supplier” entry, the supplier detail page, and what happens when you delete a supplier.

The supplier list

Each row shows:

Supplier — name plus the auto-generated supplier number underneath.
Contact — primary contact person, email, phone.
Location — city and country.
Performance — a coloured badge with the supplier’s on-time-delivery rate (see below).
Variants — how many variants you buy from this supplier.
Actions — edit and delete.

Filters above the list let you narrow by supplier name, location, performance bucket, and variant-count bucket (0 / 1–5 / 6–20 / >20).

The Performance badge

The Performance column shows a coloured badge based on the supplier’s on-time-delivery rate:

Badge	Threshold
Excellent	95% or higher
Good	90–94.99%
Needs improvement	Less than 90%
No data	Rate not set

The rate is not computed automatically. You set it manually on the supplier (Edit supplier → On-time delivery rate). Treat the badge as an informational label for your own bookkeeping — it has no functional effect on reorder suggestions, PO creation, or notifications unless you explicitly opt in via the forecast’s supplier-reliability setting.

The Default supplier

When Logistified is installed, it creates one special supplier called Default supplier. It:

Exists for every shop.
Is attached to every variant by default.
Has fallback defaults for lead time, MOQ, and pack size (longer lead time, MOQ 0, pack size 1).
Cannot be deleted.
Appears in lists but is often filtered out of pickers — most operators don’t actually buy from “default.”

When you set up real suppliers, replace the Default on the variants you buy from those real suppliers.

Supplier number format

When you create a supplier, Logistified generates a number in the form SUP- followed by a name-derived prefix and a 6-digit timestamp suffix — for example, SUP-ACME078293. The number is editable on the supplier detail page. Logistified does not enforce uniqueness when you edit the number, so be careful not to duplicate one by accident.

Supplier detail page

Click any supplier in the list to open the detail page. Tabs:

Overview — contact details, address, currency, payment terms, tax rate, notes.
Variants — every supplier–variant link with this supplier.
Supply — availability, price breaks, and supplier-held stock for this supplier’s variants.
Credits — credit balance + application history.
Terms — full address and commercial terms.
Activity — log of changes to this supplier.

Default values for new suppliers

When you create a new supplier, these defaults apply:

Field	Default
Currency	EUR
Payment terms	”No Payment Terms” (note: different from PO default which is “NET 30”)
Tax rate	None (none assigned)
Discount terms	None
Credit limit	(display-only — Logistified doesn’t enforce it against POs)
Minimum order value	0

Edit on the supplier detail page.

Deleting a supplier

Suppliers are archived, not hard-deleted. The system:

Marks the supplier as archived.
Promotes the Default supplier to primary for every variant that had this supplier as primary, provided the Default supplier already has a row for that variant.

After delete, the supplier is hidden from lists. Recover from the archived view.
