Export your suppliers or their items to a spreadsheet, in a column layout you control.

Exporting from the supplier list

Select one or more suppliers on the supplier list (or use Select all N matching), then open Actions → Export suppliers. A three-step dialog walks you through what to export, then the file format:

1. What — pick Supplier level or Supplier items (see below).
2. Format — pick XLSX or CSV, and optionally a saved export template. If you have no saved templates for that export type, the dialog skips the picker and uses the built-in default columns.
3. The file downloads automatically once it’s ready. Your selection stays in place afterward, so you can export both levels back to back without reselecting.

Note

If every selected supplier has no items, a Supplier items export reports “The selected suppliers have no items” instead of downloading an empty file. A Supplier level export always produces one row per supplier, even for suppliers with no items — their item count just reads 0.

Choosing what to export

Export type	Rows	What’s in it
Supplier level	One row per supplier	Contact, address, currency, payment terms, tax ID, minimum order value, plus a “Supplier summary” block: item count, primary-item count, default To/CC email recipients, and connected vendor names.
Supplier items	One row per supplier item (a supplier–variant link)	The supplier header repeated on every row, plus supplier SKU/name/cost, MOQ, pack size, lead time, primary-supplier flag, tiered pricing, and live product/variant data (title, current inventory totals, ABC tier).

Both exports respect your current data exclusion settings — archived products are left out by default, the same way they’re left out everywhere else supplier items are counted or listed.

Note

Supplier item exports don’t include stock figures for a specific location — a supplier item isn’t tied to one. For inventory at a particular location, export from a purchase order’s line items instead (see Purchase Orders → Exports).

This is different from the detail page’s “Export variants”

An individual supplier’s detail page has its own Export variants download (under the Variants tab’s upload/download menu). That file always uses the same fixed columns, because it’s built to be re-imported: it’s the round-trip file the supplier-variant importer accepts back for bulk updates. The list-page export described on this page is template-driven and not guaranteed to re-import — use it for reporting and downstream systems, not as an edit-and-reupload workflow.

Export templates

Manage saved column layouts at Settings → Logistics → Suppliers → Export templates. Two independent template families exist, one per export type above, each with its own default template (“Default Supplier Level XLSX/CSV” and “Default Supplier Items XLSX/CSV”) that Logistified creates automatically the first time you visit the settings page or open the export dialog.

• Column selection — search and check the columns you want, in any order. The Available columns list groups by source (Supplier, Supplier summary, Supplier item, Product, Product variant, plus live inventory and metrics on item templates) — see Settings → Data export templates → Finding a column for how the picker works generally.
• Set as default — mark one template per family as the default; it’s preselected in the export dialog (still changeable per export).
• Suppliers have no PDF documents and no per-supplier template assignment, so those controls don’t appear on this settings page — unlike Purchase Orders or Return Orders, which have both.

You can save as many templates as you need — e.g. one column set for accounting, another matched to a downstream system’s import format — and pick between them each time you export.
