Open **Input → Suppliers**.

## The list

Buttons: **Import all**, **Suspend all**, **Progress**, **New**.

The list can be sorted by **arbitration order**: the top supplier wins each field; with equal priority the lowest ID wins. Fields changed by a person or locked are never overwritten.

Row actions: **View**, **Import**, **Suspend**, **Open card**, **Edit**, **Delete**.

## Supplier card

- **Check access** — checks the source is reachable with the stored credentials;
- **Run now** — runs an import outside the schedule;
- tabs: **Runs**, **Mapping**, **Offers**, **Companies**, **Log**;
- the next scheduled run is shown.

## Setting up a new supplier (Edit)

1. **Basic data** — code, name, country, currency.
2. **Import connection** — format (**XML, CSV, Excel, JSON, API**) and address.
3. **Accounts and access** — credentials (stored encrypted).
4. **Text cleanup** — stripping stray HTML, whitespace, etc.
5. **Schedule and network** — a cron expression in **Riga time**. Avoid 03:00–04:00 (daylight-saving change). Empty = no automatic import. If the previous run is still going, the next one is skipped.
6. **Companies** — which companies get new products added automatically.
7. **Data file and field mapping** — which source field goes where.
8. **Import options** and **Updating existing products** — incl. **Disappearance from feed** (default safety threshold 20%: if more disappear, products aren't retired).
9. **Arbitration priority**.
10. **Notes**.

At the bottom: **Run history** (status, started, rows ok/total, errors, counters), the **Run import** button and **Image fetching** → **Fetch missing**.

## Mappings and vocabulary

- **Mappings** — supplier categories → our categories. Filter **unmapped only**. Unmapped ones stay as a backlog.
- **Supplier vocabulary** — link **Unmapped axes** to attributes (**Link**, with a suggestion); **Import-created values** — values the import created, rarest first.
- Manufacturer and attribute-value mapping — still being built.
