Material suppliers are selected on the Add Suppliers page by default. Clear the checkbox next to any material suppliers you do not want to add.
You can use the mass change function to update information for multiple material suppliers.
If the material supplier row is not editable, the material supplier exists in the materials tracker dashboard or library. To add the material supplier to the material, click Create.
