You can find an overview of all suppliers under Purchasing → Suppliers. Here you can create and edit suppliers, assign products, and manage additional supplier information.
Creating suppliers
You can create your suppliers either individually via the user interface of your Shopware Admin, or create multiple suppliers at once via CSV import.
Creating suppliers manually
To create a new supplier, click on Create supplier at the top right of the supplier overview and fill out the form. Each supplier is automatically assigned a number. You can adjust the corresponding number range under Settings → Shop → Number ranges → Suppliers.
Creating suppliers via CSV import
If you want to create multiple suppliers at once, using a CSV import is a good option. To do this, you can download a corresponding template file in the supplier overview via Export, which you then only need to fill out. The export file contains all columns that are also displayed in the Shopware Admin. So you can show or hide columns as needed via the list settings on the right.
Then fill out the downloaded file with your data, save it, and upload it again using the Import button.
For the import into Shopware, the CSV file must be UTF-8 encoded and use semicolons as separators. You can find more details on this and where to find the corresponding configuration option in your spreadsheet program here.
Editing suppliers
To edit an existing supplier, click on the respective name or supplier number. Alternatively, as described above, you can also make changes to existing suppliers via CSV import.
Assigning products and managing additional supplier information
This article explains how you can assign products to your suppliers and store additional supplier-specific data, such as the minimum order quantity and price.
If your supplier has a specific minimum order value, you can check directly in the purchase list whether it has been reached.
