Dashboard number cards
Active Suppliers
Count of Suppliers not disabled.
In detail
This card counts Supplier records not marked disabled, with no date filter, so it shows how many vendors you deal with. The demo includes Market mind investment group. Each supplier carries its default payable account, tax category and withholding category, so the count is also the number of parties whose TDS setup you must keep right. A supplier without a PAN on record cannot appear correctly in the Purchase Book, so review new suppliers as they are added.
Formula
Active Suppliers = Count of Supplier where disabled = 0
