Managing Supplier

A supplier is an individual or organization that provides goods or services to a business. In Tigg, suppliers are used to record and manage all purchase-related transactions such as purchase requests, purchase orders, bills, debit notes, and payments.

Before recording any purchase transaction in Tigg, the supplier must first be created in the system.

To record purchase transactions such as bills or purchase orders, you must first create a supplier in Tigg.

1. Go to Purchase → Suppliers

2. Click Add New

3. Enter the supplier details such as:

• Supplier Name
• PAN (Permanent Account Number)
• Address
• Phone Number
• Email and other relevant details

  4. Click Save to create the supplier

By clicking Add More Details, additional fields become available that allow you to store more information about the supplier and configure certain transaction settings.
Some of the commonly used fields include:

• Accept Sales – Enable this option if the contact can also act as a customer. This allows you to record sales transactions with the same contact.
• Email – Email address of the supplier for sending purchase orders or communication.
• Credit Terms – Specifies the number of days allowed by the supplier to make payment after a bill is issued.
• Credit Limit – Maximum credit amount allowed by the supplier. This helps track how much payable balance can be accumulated.

These additional details help businesses manage supplier credit terms, communication, and transaction flexibility more effectively.
Once the supplier is created successfully, the supplier will be available for selection when creating purchase transactions such as purchase requests, purchase orders, bills, and supplier payments.

After a supplier is created, you can open the supplier profile to access additional options and manage supplier-related information.
From the Supplier Detail Page, you can perform the following actions:

• Edit supplier details if any information such as address, phone number, or PAN needs to be updated
• Mark the supplier as inactive if the supplier is no longer doing business with your organization
• Create purchase transactions such as purchase requests, purchase orders, bills, debit notes, or supplier payments directly for that supplier
• Add contact personnel to store details of specific contacts within the supplier’s organization

In addition to managing basic supplier information, Tigg also provides several tools to help manage communication and related activities.
You can also:

• Send Email or SMS directly to the supplier from the supplier detail page
• Generate Supplier Statements to view or share a summary of all transactions with the supplier for a selected period
• Generate Balance Confirmation Letters to request confirmation of outstanding balances from the supplier
• Create Tasks related to the supplier, such as follow-ups, payment scheduling, or purchase coordination
• Upload and store documents related to the supplier for easy reference

These features allow businesses to maintain a complete record of supplier interactions, transactions, and communications in one place, helping improve vendor management and purchase tracking.
