Suppliers in Mobility Work correspond to companies registered on your network. Each purchase order can be linked to a supplier to identify the recipient of the order.
Add a supplier to a purchase order
The supplier is an optional field: you can create a purchase order without a supplier and add one later.
Select an existing supplier
- Open a purchase order with the Draft status.
- In the Supplier field, start typing the company name.
- Select the supplier from the list of results.
- The supplier is linked to the purchase order.
Create a new supplier without leaving the purchase order
If the supplier does not yet exist in your network:
- In the Supplier field, click Create a supplier.
- A form opens directly within the purchase order.
- Enter the company information (name, address, etc.).
- Confirm the creation.
- The new supplier is automatically linked to the purchase order.
This feature allows you to create a supplier without leaving the purchase order you are currently preparing.
Constraints
- One supplier per purchase order: each purchase order can only be linked to one supplier. If you need to order from multiple suppliers, create one purchase order per supplier.
- Draft status only: a supplier can only be added or modified while the purchase order is in Draft status. Once the purchase order is confirmed, the supplier can no longer be changed.
- A supplier cannot be deleted.
Purchase order suppliers are the same entities as the companies registered on your network (formerly referred to as "companies" in Mobility Work). Any company created from a purchase order is also visible in the network supplier/company list, and vice versa.
Supplier and references
When a supplier is linked to a purchase order and a spare part is added to a line item, Mobility Work automatically suggests the supplier references configured for that supplier/spare part combination.
