Suppliers overview

Goal

Understand what a supplier is in BlueMatrix and how the supplier hub fits purchasing and AP.

Who it is for

Purchasing / AP clerks and managers with party.view. Profile balances need supplier_profile.view. Hub actions use party.update, party.delete, party.link, party.erase, or consent.manage as applicable.

How suppliers fit the cycle

1. Create a supplier from Suppliers → New supplier.
2. Optionally mark Also a customer for a dual-role party.
3. Use the party on purchase quotes / orders / bills, payments, debit notes, and related modules.
4. Open the supplier hub for identity, AP KPIs, roles, global identity, consents, and tabs (Purchasing, CRM, Accounting, … — no Statement/POS/Billable tabs).
5. Archive when the supplier should leave active lists; GDPR erase is separate and privileged.

Open the screen
