- Enter the unique code you are assigning to this Supplier. The field holds up to 20 letters and/or numbers. Hansa offers a default based on the Supplier Number of the previous Supplier entered. Once the record has been saved, the Supplier Number may not be changed. It is the means by which this Supplier will be identified elsewhere in Hansa.

- This field can be used as an alternative means of identifying this Supplier - information entered here appears in the Short column in the 'Suppliers: Browse' window. Firms of a similar nature could be given the same Short Code so that they would be grouped together in the 'Suppliers: Browse' window when sorted by the Short column. The field holds up to ten letters and/or numbers.
