Supplier list template: who supplies what, on what terms, in how many days.

Seven columns are enough: name, phone, city, payment terms (cash, net 14…), main items, lead time in days, and notes such as a discount for cash. Print it and pin it by the phone.

When the sheet stops being enough

The sheet records what the supplier promised. In Dashing performance is computed from actual receipts — on-time rate and fill rate — and quotes are compared across suppliers.

Common questions

Does the list import into Dashing?

Suppliers are added by hand from the Buy screen (usually fewer than ten); old balances stay in the notebook.

Dashing does this for every item, automatically, in your shop.
