# Add a Supplier

### Suppliers List

Click **Suppliers** from the Moselle menu to view all suppliers. The list displays:

* Name
* Country
* Incoming GMV
* Active Orders
* Prices Last Updated

Click **Add Supplier** in the top right corner to create a new supplier.

### Create a Supplier

1. Click **Add Supplier**
2. A pop-up will appear - enter:
   * Name
   * Country
   * Currency
   * Lead time (days)
3. Answer **What do they do?** — whether this is a **Finished goods supplier**, a **Turnkey manufacturer**, or a **Consignment manufacturer**. Choosing a manufacturing option asks whether you track inventory at their facility.
4. Click **Save Changes**

You'll be taken to the Supplier Details page where you can add additional information.

{% hint style="info" %}
The supplier type decides how lead times work for this vendor and whether they can hold your stock, so it's worth getting right. You can change it later from the Supply Chain canvas.
{% endhint %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

You can also create a supplier from the **Supply Chain** canvas (**Operations > Inventory > Supply Chain**) using the **+** on the **Suppliers** heading — it opens the same dialog.

### Supplier Details Page
