# Editing a supplier

When a supplier changes their terms or their accounts contact, your next purchase order needs to pick that up. The supplier screen in OrderEazi holds those details. Some of them lock once you've ordered from the supplier, so your existing orders stay consistent.

### Before you start

You'll need the **Edit Supplier** permission, in the **Suppliers** permission group.

### How to edit a supplier

1. In the main menu, select **Suppliers**.
2. Open the menu on the supplier and select **Edit**.
3. Change what you need.
4. Select **Save**.

You see "Supplier Updated".

### The fields on the supplier screen

**Supplier / Vendor Details:**

* **Code:** The supplier's account code. It's only on the edit screen.
* **Company Name:** Must be unique. If another supplier has it, you see that it's already in use.
* **Category** and **Team:** For grouping and reporting.
* **VAT Reference:** The supplier's VAT number.
* **Balance:** What you owe the supplier. You can't change it here.

**Default Settings:**

* **Tax Type:** The VAT treatment of their invoices. It locks once you've sent the supplier a purchase order.
* **Payment Due Date:** How many days you have to pay, and how they're counted, such as **Days From Date Of Invoice**.
* **Currency:** The currency they bill in. It locks once you've sent the supplier a purchase order.
* **Rating:** Your own rating of the supplier, from 0 to 5.

**Default Contact Person:** The **Full Name**, **Email**, **Office Number**, and **Mobile Number**. Separate more than one email address with a comma or semicolon.

**Addresses:** The **Postal Address** and **Physical Address**. Tick **Same as Postal Address** if they match.

For South African organisations, you can also record the supplier's **BEE Level**.

**Example:** A supplier gives you 60-day terms from the end of the month. You set **Payment Due Date** to 60 and **Days From The End Of Invoice Month**. Supplier invoices you capture from them are then due 60 days after the end of the invoice month.

### The Linked Pricelists tab

**Linked Pricelists** lists every pricelist this supplier's products are added to automatically, with how many products are on each. Select **Edit Pricelist** to open one. See [Linking Suppliers to a Price List](/central/order-management/pricelists/linking-suppliers-to-a-price-list.md).
