## Manufacturers
|
|
|
|
A manufacturer is a [company](../concepts/company.md) which acts as an external producer of parts and raw materials. A manufacturer may or may not also be a [supplier](./supplier.md) of those parts.
|
|
|
|
!!! info
|
|
**Viewing**, **adding**, **editing** and **deleting** manufacturers require the corresponding [Purchase Orders user permissions](../settings/permissions.md)
|
|
|
|
To access the list of manufacturers , click on the <span class="badge inventree nav main">{{ icon("shopping-cart") }} Buy</span> navigation tab and click on <span class="badge inventree nav main">{{ icon("building-factory-2") }} Manufacturers</span> option in the dropdown list.

### Add Manufacturer
|
|
|
|
Once the manufacturer page is loaded, click on the <span class="badge inventree add">{{ icon("plus-circle") }} New Manufacturer</span> button: the "Create new Manufacturer" form opens. Fill-in the manufacturer information (`Company name` and `Company description` are required) then click on <span class="badge inventree confirm">Submit</span>
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Manufacturer vs Supplier"
|
|
In the case the manufacturer sells directly to customers, you may want to enable the checkbox `is supplier` before submitting the form (you can also enable it later on). Purchase orders rely exclusively on [supplier parts](./supplier.md#supplier-parts), therefore the manufacturer will need to be set as a supplier too.
