You can use the whole FUTURA Smart address book as source, which include as well supplier data entries from SAP for searching and adding suppliers.

Detailed information about the general handling and the maintenance of supplier data in FUTURA Smart an be taken from the following article: Creating new suppliers

• BP-No. (Business Partner Number from SAP)

• Company name

• Address (parts of the address, e.g. street)

• E-mail (contact person)

You can use the "plus" button on the right side of the list to add suppliers to your request for quotation. The button "Suppliers" displays the number of added suppliers.

You can use the "minus" button to remove suppliers.

By clicking on the "Suppliers" button, you can view a summary of the selected companies. At this point, suppliers can be removed again with the recycle bin button.
