The supplier code uniquely identifies a supplier. The code is used to refer to the supplier on documents such as purchase orders and purchase invoices.

You can modify a supplier code only using the Change supplier code process in the Processes folder in the Suppliers module.

Enter a house number and a suffix (if any), for example "64A". If you are using supply chain integration, the House number (including suffix) field is required.

Fill in the country code, not just for offices abroad, but also for offices in your own country (for example 'US'). Isah requires the country to look up the correct VAT code for a transaction in the VAT search path. The country name automatically appears next to the country code.

Tip: In the General Settings module, you can specify a default value for this field that applies to all customers and/or suppliers. This value will then be filled in automatically when a new customer or supplier is added. You can modify the default value of the field at any time if you want to use another value for a particular customer or supplier.

Customers and suppliers are divided into customer and supplier groups. A group must be assigned to every customer and supplier. The Group field is available on the General tab and on the Financial tab. The General tab displays the group the customer or supplier belongs to, but does not allow you to change it. The Financial tab does allow you to change the field value.

Note: If Isah is linked to a financial application, changing a customer or supplier group may have financial implications, as groups may be used to post entries to specific ledger accounts.

For all of your parts, you can include texts, such as descriptions, in different languages.
