Creating or editing suppliers manually in the backend

To create suppliers manually, click on Articles → Purchasing → Suppliers in the Shopware backend and then click the Add supplier button. To edit existing suppliers, click the pencil icon in the corresponding row. The following window opens:

Tab Edit - Here you can enter the supplier's master data. Using the Currency field, you can specify the currency in which purchase prices for this supplier are to be maintained. If products have already been assigned to this supplier, the following message appears:

If you click Yes, the conversion is carried out according to the factor specified in Settings → Basic settings → Shop settings → Currencies. If you click No, the currency is converted 1:1. To cancel the process, click the X in the top right corner.

To keep the exchange rate as up to date as possible, various plugins are available in the Shopware Community Store that check the current exchange rates and update the value in the Factor field accordingly. For this, we recommend the plugin CurrentCurrencies from Net Inventors GmbH.

Note: If you put away orders in foreign currencies, the value of the goods is always converted into your shop's default currency.

Tab Product assignment - Here you can assign selected products from the Available products area to the supplier, either by drag & drop or using the arrow buttons in the middle of the window. In the Selected products area, you can enter the prices and, optionally, the packaging unit (1 is set by default) and the minimum order quantity. These values are relevant for the suggested order quantity when creating a supplier order.

Tab Manufacturer assignment - Here you can assign specific manufacturers to the supplier, and thus all products of that manufacturer at once.
