# Information - Supplier Manager ## Introduction The **Premier EPOS** software has a robust **Supplier Manager**, capable of storing an array of **Supplier** details. It's very important that a **Supplier** is created in the **Supplier Manager** first, so it is available in other areas of the system, like the [Stock Manager](/support/stock/stock/information-stock-manager.md). The **Supplier Manager** is located in the **Stock** section. Please see below screenshot.

Once you press on the **Supplier Manager** button, the **Supplier** menu will open within the main system window. Please see below screenshot.

## Create New Supplier

To create a new **Supplier**, click on the **Create New Supplier** button. This will open up a text entry screen and you can type in the name of the new **Supplier**. Once you have entered the name, the text entry box will close and the new **Supplier** will be added to the list. After creating a new **Supplier**, the rest of the **Supplier** details will now be available to be filled in. If you plan on emailing your **Suppliers** replenishment orders, we recommend at least filling in the **Email Address**. ## Delete Supplier

To delete an existing **Supplier**, highlight the **Supplier** you are removing and click **Delete Supplier** button. Once you press delete, the system will ask you if you are sure. Please see below screenshot.

Deleting a **Supplier** will remove their details from items in your database that you have ordered from them. ## Advanced Features ### Auto Insert from Stock

This option will check your **Stock** information for **Suppliers** that exist, but are not in the **Supplier Manager** and add them to the **Supplier** database. ### Generate CSV Template

This option will create a blank template file in CSV format. This template includes **Supplier Name**, **Your Ref Code**, **Phone Number**, **Contact Name 1**, **Contact Name 2**, **Email**, **Address** and **Postcode**. Please see below screenshot.

This function is normally used for fresh system setups or adding in new bulk **Supplier** details. ### Import From CSV

Once you have filled in the blank template that is generated by the previous function, the **Import From CSV** button will allow you to add in the prepared details. Clicking the **Import From CSV** button, will open the import menu. Please see below screenshot.

Once the import window is open, click the **Step 1: Select CSV File** button and select your list of **Suppliers** to import. It will then preview your changes. Once you have confirmed the changes, you will then press **Step 2: Commit Import**.
