A supplier record is where a batch of codes came from: who you bought them from, and how much you have purchased in total. Recording suppliers is optional, but it is what lets Keysender attribute an inventory's unit cost, the same unit_cost field the code upload API accepts, back to where the stock was sourced.
TL;DR
Recording a supplier is optional. If you are not tracking unit cost by source, you can add codes to an inventory without ever visiting this page.
Open People, then Suppliers in Keysender.
Click Add New.
Enter the supplier's Name and Email.
Optionally add a Phone number and any Notes, then save.
Check the Purchased stock column on the Suppliers list to see the running total bought from each one.
The new supplier appears in the list, and its Purchased stock total increases as you attribute code uploads to it.
| Symptom | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Purchased stock stays at 0 for a supplier | Codes were uploaded to an inventory without being attributed to this supplier | Attribute the upload to the supplier when adding codes; the total only reflects what was linked |
| The same supplier was added twice | No duplicate check runs on Name or Email | Use Search Suppliers to check for an existing match before adding a new one |
| A supplier's Email or Phone looks wrong after editing | The edit did not save, or the wrong record was opened | Reopen the record from Action and confirm the Name matches before re-entering the details |
