Overview
The Suppliers importer bulk-creates or updates suppliers from a single CSV. Matching is case-insensitive on name — rows whose name matches an existing supplier update that supplier, and rows with a new name create one.
Columns
| Column | Required | Description |
|---|
name | Yes | The supplier name. Matched case-insensitively against existing suppliers. |
description | No | Free-text description. |
phone_number | No | Contact phone number. |
address | No | Supplier address. |
email | No | Contact email address. |
contact_name | No | Name of the primary contact. |
Each supplier name may appear only once per file. Two rows with the same name (compared case-insensitively) produce a duplicate-name validation error.
Custom attributes
Any column not in the standard list above is treated as a custom attribute on the supplier. Custom attribute columns must match a configured attribute key for your organization; unknown columns cause a validation error.
