Editing Supplier Information

You can update supplier profiles at any time. Changes apply to future imports but don't affect existing pricelists.

Editing a Supplier

  1. Go to Suppliers page
  2. Click on the supplier name
  3. Update any field
  4. Click "Save Changes"

What Can Be Changed

Basic Information

  • Name
  • Code (⚠️ Warning: may affect product codes)
  • Contact details

Pricing Settings

  • VAT inclusion
  • Price unit (per piece/package)
  • Default VAT rate

Odoo Integration

  • Partner link
  • Default categories

Impact of Changes

Existing Pricelists

Already imported pricelists keep their original settings. They are NOT updated.

Future Imports

New pricelists will use the updated settings.

Synced Products

Products already synced to Odoo are NOT updated. You need to re-sync to apply changes.

When to Edit Suppliers

Supplier Changed Pricing Method

If your supplier switches from VAT-inclusive to VAT-exclusive pricing, update the supplier profile.

Correcting Mistakes

If you set the wrong VAT rate or UoM, fix it before the next import.

Updating Contact Information

Update emails or phone numbers as needed.

Supplier Code Changes

⚠️ Be careful when changing supplier codes. If you use supplier codes in product internal references, changing the code will affect future products.

Cannot Edit

Some fields cannot be changed if the supplier has existing data:

  • Supplier Code: Locked if products use this code in their internal reference
  • Odoo Partner ID: Locked if supplier info exists in Odoo

To change these, create a new supplier instead.
