ERPNext Supplier Master & Procurement Controls Checklist

Weak supplier data and loose buying controls are where procurement leaks — duplicate vendors, wrong TDS, invoices booked with no purchase order behind them. ERPNext gives you the fields and toggles to prevent all of that, but only if the Supplier master is set up deliberately. This is a plain-English reference to the real fields and doctypes involved — the Supplier, Supplier Group, Tax Withholding Category, Payment Terms Template and Supplier Scorecard — so your team knows what each control does before switching it on. Use it as a companion when you configure ERPNext, not as a tracker; every item names the actual field so you can find it on screen.
