Vendors are the distributors and suppliers you order from. Set each one up with a rep, contact info, and payment terms, and your products link to it by name. A vendor is more than a contact here: its delivery days sharpen your pars and its order minimum keeps you from paying for two deliveries when one would do.

1. Add a vendor

Open Inventory → List Vendors. Fill in the vendor name and whatever you have: rep, phone, email, account number, payment terms. Only the name is required. Save and the vendor is ready to attach to products as their Primary Vendor.

2. Set the delivery days

Tap the Delivery Days chips for the days this vendor delivers, or Pickup if you go get it yourself. This is not just a note: Dynamic Pars reads these days to size a tighter reorder par for everything you buy from this vendor, so a vendor who comes twice a week gives a smaller, sharper par than a once-a-week one. Leave them blank and those products fall back to your Default Delivery Cycle.

3. Set order minimums and fees

Set the Order Minimum and pick its unit, a dollar minimum or a count of cases or kegs, and add a delivery fee and free-delivery-over amount if the vendor has them. On the Order Sheet, each vendor card shows your running order against that minimum and warns when it is short, so you can add more of that vendor's items and clear the bar in one delivery. You are always warned, never blocked.

4. Import a list, or set up from your products

Already have your vendors in a spreadsheet? Switch the card to Import File and drop a CSV or Excel file, one vendor per row; only the name is required and the rest comes in if your file has it. And when you add products, any vendor name not on your list yet shows under Set Up From Your Products with a count of how many products use it. Tap Set Up, fill in the details, and every product pointing at that name connects automatically.

Rename a vendor and every product pointing at the old name follows automatically. Each cost change you apply in Receive a Delivery logs against the vendor and feeds the Vendor Tracker in Profit Recovery, so a vendor quietly raising prices shows up before it eats your margin.
