This section is used to add [Suppliers](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/suppliers) for a product. If not manually set, the default is to apply none.

<p class="callout info">This section allows products to be edited individually; editing in bulk is done with other tools, such as the [CSV Upload](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/price-management/page/csv-upload "CSV Upload") or the [Bulk Updater](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/bulk-update "Bulk Update").</p>

You may use the tick boxes to select all of the Suppliers which are available for this product.

<p class="callout info">This section will only be visible if your system is enabled for **Multiple Suppliers** - if it has not, the Supplier will be determined via a drop down on the Product tab</p>

<p class="callout info">Preferred Supplier is used when automatically creating Purchase Orders for this product; if Multiple Suppliers are enabled for a product, the system will default to that Supplier</p>
