When you click on the Suppliers tab in the Invoice section, the Supplier List will display.

Supplier List:

The Supplier List is the main window of the Purchases section of Invoice Manager.
The Supplier List can be sorted by Supplier Code, Supplier Name, Contact Name or Phone by clicking on the column heading at the top.

A triangle to the right of the column name will indicate the sort order of the column: an ‘up’ triangle indicates ascending order, and a ‘down’ triangle descending order.

To quickly and easily search for an existing supplier, sort by Supplier Name and then type the first letter of the name. The closest match will be highlighted in the list.
 

Function Buttons:

To the right of the Supplier List are buttons for the common functions undertaken
in the program. These are divided into groups: Functions, Information and Suppliers.
Each function button performs a different task in the program. They allow you to add or edit purchase orders, purchase invoices, returns, apply payments and overpayments. To use a function, select a customer by clicking on their name, and then click the function button desired.
For example, if you need to edit a supplier’s details, click on their name in the Supplier List and then click on the [Modify Supplier] button.
