Supplier Information

If Xero can't match the supplier name from Workbench with an existing supplier in Xero, a new supplier will be created.
Note: The names must match exactly in both systems, otherwise a new supplier will be created. Be careful not to have extra spaces at the end of names.
The Postal Address information from Workbench will update the Postal Address information against the supplier in Xero, each time a bill is imported for that supplier. This will happen regardless of whether the bill is for a new supplier or an existing supplier.
