Having this ticked will make the Supplier Active.

Untick if the supplier is no longer operating for your company. Non-Active suppliers will not appear for selection in your supplier drop downs (e.g. Job Screen - Supplier, Live console - supplier, etc)

In Journease we cannot DELETE suppliers only make them NON-ACTIVE for historic records

If a supplier is still operating for you but is currently on hold then ticking this checkbox will notify the user when trying to create a job using this supplier

If you are using Journease Mobile and have either Job Creation or Vehicle Checks addons, then ticking this checkbox will allow this supplier to sign for the vehicle check and be available for instant allocation of jobs created on the mobile.

If you are set up with mutiple Depots, use this drop down to signify which Depot this supplier works from. leaving it blank will make them available for ALL depots

If this supplier is an external firm, you may have a specific Employee that you always use from the firm, entering that driver as a default means that whenever you select this supplier the driver will be added to the job by default. NOTE this can be changed on the job if need be.

If this supplier uses a specific vehicle (Reg) then you can add that here, whether it is one of your vehicles or not.

Whenever you select this supplier the Vehicle Reg will be added to the job by default. NOTE this can be changed on the job if need be.
