  2. After a short time the supplier will be pushed to your accounting partner and will bring across the following supplier details:

Suppliers and Contractors

When setting up a contractor, the supplier field is mandatory as once the supplier is connected to your accounting, this is how the contractor gets paid when purchase orders are raised for subcontracted work. For this reason, even if it's an individual contractor there must also be a supplier associated.
