## Manufacturers
|
|
|
|
A manufacturer is an external **producer** of parts and raw materials.
|
|
|
|

{% with id="manufacturer_list", url="buy/manufacturer_list.png", description="Manufacturer List" %}
|
|
{% include "img.html" %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|

**Viewing**, **adding**, **editing** and **deleting** manufacturers require the corresponding [Purchase Orders user permissions](../settings/permissions.md)

### Add Manufacturer

Once the manufacturer page is loaded, click on the <span class="badge inventree add"><span class='fas fa-plus-circle'></span> New Manufacturer</span> button: the "Create new Manufacturer" form opens.

!!! 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.
