Edit a supplier
Overview
You can update a supplier at any time. Each card on the record has its own Edit action, so you change only the section you need.
Before you start
- Open the supplier (Suppliers in the sidebar, then select its name).
- Know which tab holds the data: General for identifiers, address, and contacts; Associations for production facilities and connected companies; EUDR for production locations and documents. While you work in the EUDR module, the supplier opens on its EUDR tab.
Step by step
- Open the supplier by selecting it in the Suppliers list.
- Choose the tab you need: General, Associations, CBAM, or EUDR.
- Select Edit on the relevant card, make your changes, and save.
What you can edit where
| Tab | Editable data |
|---|---|
| General | Name (inline from the page header), Identifier, BPNL, address, and contact persons, including which contact is the default. |
| Associations | The supplier's production facilities (add, open, edit in place). Connected companies are derived from your transactions and shown read-only. |
| CBAM | Purchased CBAM goods and their emission data. |
| EUDR | Production locations (plot geolocation) and compliance documents. |
The Identifier must stay unique within your account. If you enter a value another supplier already uses, the save is refused with a clear message and your other edits are not applied; because the identifier is the key used in the supplier, production facilities and imports uploads, update your own files after changing it.
Tips
- To add another contact, use Add New under Contact Persons on the General tab, then invite that contact if they should connect.
- Keep production locations current; they are the evidence behind assessments and statements.
Troubleshooting
- I cannot find the Role or Supplier Type field. Both were removed from the product. Every record in the Suppliers section is a supplier, and production facilities are simply listed on the Associations tab.
- "Identifier already taken". Choose a different value and save again. kolum checks on save, not while you type; export your supplier list to see which identifiers are in use.
ℹ️ Regulatory context. Keep supplier records and their production locations current, since the plot geolocation (Article 9) and documents are the evidence behind your Due Diligence Statements. See the consolidated EUDR text.
Common Questions
What's new
Suppliers are edited on one unified record for CBAM and EUDR, tab by tab: master data and contacts on General, production facilities on Associations, and plot geolocation and documents on EUDR, which is preselected while you work in the EUDR module.
