Supplier attributes are organization-specific fields (e.g. "Strategic supplier", "Responsible buyer") that are maintained in every Supplier profile in addition to the standard fields.
Permission: "manage Attributes" (Key User and administrator by default).
How to create an attribute
Open Settings → "Objects" → "Suppliers" → "Supplier attributes".
Create the new attribute and assign it to a section.
The attribute is then available in all Supplier profiles. You define where the section appears in the profile in the profile view (see below).
Good to know
A matching filter is automatically created in the Supplier overview for every attribute. To show it as a column, add it via the table view.
Attributes of type text, yes/no, multiple choice, number and user can be filled during the Supplier import.
You create attributes for Contacts in the same way under Settings → "Objects" → "Contacts", "Attributes" tab.
