Vendors
Keep a directory of suppliers and link an inventory item to one so spare-parts spend can be attributed to a vendor.
Vendors is a directory of your suppliers — the companies you buy materials or tools from. A vendor record is a contact card, not a user account: vendors do not sign in and never see any screen in Nabeeh.
Vendors only appears on the menu when the account has Inventory turned on, since the main reason to record a vendor is to link it to an inventory item.
Add a vendor
From Vendors, add a name (in each active language), pick or create a category for your account (the list starts empty — add categories that fit your business with the + control, same pattern as asset types), and optionally a contact name, phone, email, address, and notes. Mark it active or inactive from the same form.
Link a vendor to an item
Open an inventory item and set Default vendor. From then on, that item's consumption is attributed to that vendor wherever spend is broken down — for example on a spare-parts budget on a maintenance contract.
Note: Deleting a vendor does not delete the inventory items it supplied — it only clears the vendor from those items so their history stays intact.
