The Suppliers tab lets you add and manage the suppliers (vendors) you purchase from, along with the items you can order from each one. Each supplier has its own contact details, purchasing defaults and catalog of supplier items.
To open it, go to Purchasing and select the Suppliers tab.
Suppliers are assigned to items in SKULabs, through each supplier's catalog, not to sales channel listings. A vendor name shown on a listing from your sales channel (for example the Shopify Vendor field) is only text from the channel and does not create or assign a SKULabs supplier.
