Suppliers

Suppliers are the external parties you buy stock from. Each supplier carries contact details, default payment terms, currency, tax rate, and a list of the variants you buy from them. Logistified uses supplier data in three places: the Forecast page uses the primary supplier’s numbers to compute reorder suggestions (and uses a specific supplier’s numbers when you filter the forecast by that supplier), Purchase Orders inherit supplier defaults, and Return Orders return goods to specific suppliers.

A supplier is not the same as a Shopify vendor. Shopify “vendor” is a text field on a product; a Logistified supplier is a richer record. You can auto-create suppliers from Shopify vendors — see Vendor & collection groups.

Key concepts

Section titled “Key concepts”
  • Default supplierDefault supplierA built-in supplier entry that represents "no supplier assigned." Logistified attaches it to every variant by default; you replace it when you set a real primary supplier. Read more → — the built-in sentinel attached to every variant by default.
  • Primary supplierPrimary supplierThe supplier whose lead time, MOQ, pack size, and cost feed the reorder math for a variant. One per variant. You can change it any time. Read more → — the one whose lead time, MOQ, pack size, and cost feed the reorder math.
  • Supplier–variant linkSupplier–variant linkThe relationship between one supplier and one variant — the supplier's SKU, product name, product URL, variant notes, barcode, cost, MOQ, max order qty, pack size, and lead time. A variant can have many links; one is marked primary. Read more → — the relationship between one supplier and one variant.
  • Vendor groupVendor groupA rule that auto-creates a supplier from a Shopify vendor name. Useful when your Shopify vendors already map cleanly to real suppliers. Read more → / Collection groupCollection groupA rule that auto-creates a supplier from a Shopify collection. Useful when a whole collection comes from one supplier. Read more → — auto-creation from Shopify.
  • Supplier creditSupplier creditA balance you have with a supplier — money they owe you, from a return order (RMA) or a manual adjustment. It can be deliberately applied to a future PO with the same supplier and currency. Read more → — a balance owed to you.
