Supplier
Definition
A supplier in Care is a vendor or distributor that you order supplies from. Care stores a supplier as one type of organization. Care shows suppliers in their own list, separate from Governance organizations and from Responsibilities.
Suppliers are a flat list. A supplier has no parent organization and no child organizations.
Where to find it
Select Organizations in the Admin sidebar. Then select Suppliers. The page shows the heading Suppliers and the description Manage your product suppliers and vendor organizations. The supplier list is on the left. Select a supplier to see its name and description on the right.

Care uses one shared organization form for suppliers. The create sheet shows the title Create Department/Team. The edit sheet shows the title Edit Department/Team. The field hints on the sheet also use department and team wording. The sheet still creates or updates a supplier.
Use in purchase orders
You select a supplier when you create a purchase order. On the purchase order form, the field is labeled Vendor/Distributor. Create the supplier first, then create the purchase order.
