You can print from two places — the item's Details page, or directly from the list without opening the item.
+
+ Supply Categories
+
+
+ Each vendor can be tagged with one or more Supply Categories — for example,
+ Powder, Chemical, or Consumables. These tags tell the system what types of
+ inventory items this vendor supplies.
+
+
+ When you add or edit an inventory item and choose a Category, the vendor dropdown
+ automatically filters to show only vendors tagged for that category. This prevents accidentally
+ selecting an unrelated supplier.
+
+
+ - A vendor can belong to multiple categories — check as many boxes as apply.
+ - If no vendor in your list is tagged for the selected category, the dropdown falls back to
+ showing all active vendors so you are never blocked.
+ - A “Showing vendors for this category” note appears below the dropdown when the filter is
+ active. Click Show all in that note to temporarily override the filter.
+
+ To tag a vendor with supply categories:
+
+ - Open the vendor's Edit page (click the vendor name in the list, then Edit).
+ - In the Supply Categories section, check the boxes that apply.
+ - Click Save Vendor.
+
+
+
+
+ Supply categories are the same categories used on your inventory items. If you add a new category
+ under Settings › Inventory Categories, it will appear automatically in the vendor
+ checkboxes.
