Supplier imports - ION Manual

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.
