The suppliers admin page is where you set up the businesses you buy parts from. Once configured, suppliers can be picked on any part row and feed into the parts returns workflow.
Adding a supplier
Open Settings → Suppliers
Or Parts → Suppliers depending on your sidebar layout.
Click Add supplier
Fill in name, phone, email(s), website, account number, and any internal notes.
Save
Available immediately in part-row pickers across the garage.
Multiple email addresses per supplier
Suppliers often have one email for orders and another for accounts. Pistonlog lets you store multiple emails per supplier, each with its own label. When you (or a future automated ordering feature) send to a supplier, you can pick which address.
Deactivate, don't delete
A supplier you used in the past is referenced on historical part rows. Deleting them would break those links. Deactivate removes them from new-part pickers while keeping the historical references intact. You can reactivate at any time.
Per garage
Suppliers are per garage, not shared across the company. Each garage maintains its own list. See Multi-garage scoping.
