Suppliers and supplier maintenance

A supplier is the person or organization who provided the goods or services listed on the invoice. Suppliers are identified by both name and geographic location. The supplier site helps you to distinguish between multiple locations for the same supplier.

Depending on your configuration, you may be able to request that Accounts Payable create or edit suppliers or sites when you create an invoice. For more information, see Create a supplier or Create a new supplier site for an existing supplier.
