# Suppliers

{% hint style="danger" %}
**The Supplier Service is deprecated as of 28 May 2026** and will be removed from the Emporix platform on **01 September 2026**.

If you currently use Suppliers Service, plan an alternative workflow before the removal date. For assistance, contact [Emporix Support](mailto:support@emporix.com).
{% endhint %}

In the **Suppliers** section you can define the suppliers that are responsible for providing products that your store offers.

You can filter the list of your suppliers by supplier ID, name, supplier number, order email or creation date.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Supplier ID** is generated automatically when a new supplier is added.
{% endhint %}

## Creating a new supplier

1. To add a new supplier to your suppliers database, go to **Products** -> **Suppliers** and choose **Add new suppliers**.
2. Provide all the information about your new supplier:

   **General information**:

   * **Name** - name of the supplier
   * **Supplier No.** - identification number of your supplier
   * **Customer No.** - customers to whom the products are provided by the supplier

   **Adress details**:

   * Contact details of the supplier

   **Orders details**:

   * **Order Method** - you can choose between single picking and collected picking
     * Select single picking for individual orders.
     * Select collected picking (wave picking) for orders from a supplier where the products are grouped together.
   * **Order Channel** - if you provide the email address of the supplier, you can set the channel directly as an e-mail order\
     To set the order channel as e-mail, fill in the supplier's **Order Email 1** address and then type **EMAIL** in the **Order Channel** field and click **Enter**. This adds the channel and links it with the supplier's e-mail address.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Name**, **Supplier No.** and **Order Method** fields are mandatory.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.emporix.io/ce/management-dashboard/products-module/suppliers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
