Supplier purchases & payments

Record purchases from a supplier (adds stock and increases what you owe) and payments to them (reduces the balance). See Purchases in Inventory.

Supplier ledger, balance & reports

Each supplier has a ledger of purchases and payments with a running balance (payables). Supplier reports show what you owe and your purchase history per supplier.
