You can access the view if you have at least read rights to supplier management and read rights to basic functions of accounts payable. To edit supplier information, you need edit rights to supplier management.

Free Search from Vendor Register 


With the free search in the vendor list, you can search for supplier information using the following details:

  • name
  • business ID
  • supplier code
  • address details

You can also search for supplier information by entering only part of the supplier's name, in which case the system will search all fields where this name is mentioned. If you don't enter anything in the search and press the Search button, the program will retrieve all the company's suppliers.

The link "All suppliers" displays all suppliers created in the system. From the view, you can also access supplier group management or adding a new supplier.

You can refine the search from the dropdown menu on the right side of the search field. Select one or more search terms from the dropdown menu, after which suppliers matching the search will be listed. The search criteria are included in the search when the search window is open. If the window is closed, the basic search works without separate search factors.



Advanced Search

With the advanced search, you can search for suppliers using the following information:

  • Comment
  • Country
  • Payment term
  • Payment prohibition, meaning you can search for suppliers with a payment prohibition.
  • Default accounting targets
  • Default account
  • Address
  • Status, meaning whether the supplier is selected as active or passive
  • Supplier, meaning you can search by supplier name
  • Supplier group


You can also save the search for yourself with a desired name, and then it will appear directly next to the advanced search. For example, below is a search that would find all Finnish suppliers

Then this can be displayed directly next to the advanced search in the future.


Suppliers are listed in the view by supplier group. First, the list shows suppliers without any supplier group.

Select visible fields in the listing

From the "Show columns" link, you can select which column information is displayed in the search listing. You can save the selections, and they will remain in memory during the user's login session. You can group suppliers in the desired order, for example, based on the supplier group. When column or grouping changes are made to the view, you can display them by pressing the "Update view" button. The "Restore defaults" link returns the view to its default settings, and any changes made by the user to the view are reset.



By default, the supplier listing shows a maximum of 500 suppliers per page at a time, and if there are more suppliers in the company, you can move to the next page. However, you can manually increase the number of search results per page.


When suppliers are retrieved in the listing, you can save them to Excel by clicking the Save as Excel file button.

Select Action Button

The button has the following functions:
With the "Change tax rate" function, you can change the tax rate of selected suppliers if the general tax rate changes or it was initially selected incorrectly.

With the "Update supplier group" function, you can change or add a desired supplier group to suppliers in bulk.

With the "Update payment term" function, you can add or update the payment term in bulk.

With the "Update country" function, you can update the supplier country information in bulk.

With the "Update default circulation" function, you can change the default invoice circulation for suppliers in bulk. The circulations must be created first.

With "Delete supplier," you can delete selected suppliers in bulk. A supplier cannot be deleted if there are purchase invoices behind it or if a purchase has been made for the supplier.
With the "Notify billing addresses" function, you can notify selected suppliers of the company's billing addresses. Billing address notifications can be sent via the printing service as a pdf-eLetter or printed locally, for example, for email sending.

Vendor Group Management

For vendor grouping, you can create different vendor groups. A new group is added by going from the supplier listing to the Vendor Groups link and then clicking the Add New Vendor Group button.

From the same view, you can edit the name of the supplier group or delete the entire supplier group. If a supplier group is deleted and it still contains suppliers, they will return to the supplier listing section where no supplier group is defined.

Prepayment Register

Netvisor shows on the purchase invoice if the supplier is not in the prepayment register. The information is only visible on the purchase invoice. Information is retrieved from YTJ. YTJ information service data is retrieved from the following companies and organizations: limited company, public limited company, housing company, cooperative, insurance company, public insurance company. Information on other company forms is not yet available for the prepayment register. New companies are retrieved from YTJ once a day. For existing companies, information is retrieved every 10 minutes, but due to the number of companies, the information is at most about 2 days old. The program retrieves the prepayment register information even if it is not read in YTJ, in which case the program reads that the company is not in the prepayment register. The information appears on the purchase invoice as follows:
