ERPNext Purchase
What is Supplier Group?
- Supplier Group
- Supplier Groups in ERPNext categorise vendors (Raw Material, Services, Logistics) to apply group-level payment terms, default accounts, and reporting filters.
Creating Supplier Groups
Go to Buying → Supplier Group → New. Build a hierarchy: All Suppliers → Local Vendors / Import Vendors / Service Providers. Assign a default Payment Terms Template and Payable Account to each group, which new suppliers inherit automatically.
Group-Level Purchase Analytics
Filter the Purchase Analytics report by Supplier Group to see spend concentration. This is useful for identifying which vendor category accounts for the most procurement cost and for negotiating group-level contracts.
