How to create a supplierكيفية إنشاء مورد

Suppliers are created on the Auxiliary Accounts screen. This is the short version; the Auxiliary Accounts screen explains every field.

Step 1 - New. Open Auxiliary accounts from the left menu. The screen lists every party record you already have. Click New.

Step 2 - set List before you touch Account. Choosing the supplier list first is what cuts the Account dropdown down from the whole chart to the nine accounts a supplier may sit on. Then pick the account:

• 40111 Suppliers if they are VAT-registered, 40112 Suppliers Non VAT if not;
• 40311 Fixed Assets Suppliers / 40312 Fixed Assets Suppliers Non VAT for a supplier of fixed assets - a computer, a vehicle, machinery - rather than of stock.

Step 3 - fill the record.

• Name - short, the name you will search by.
• Company - the official registered name. This is what the top-10 suppliers report prints.
• Currency - the dropdown beside the account.
• VAT - do not tick this yourself. It arrives already set from the account you picked, which is the whole point of the VAT / non-VAT pairing.

Step 4 - financial number and non-resident. Financial no is two boxes: the small one takes the 601 / 604 / 605 prefix when the supplier is VAT-registered, the large one takes the number itself. Leave both empty if they have none - and then tick Non resident, which is also what you tick for any supplier abroad. See the non-resident rule for why it matters.

Step 5 - Save. Libra assigns the Id - supplier records run from 400001 upward - List greys out for good, and the supplier is available on purchase invoices.

See Suppliers for the full account list and the non-resident rule.
