Supplier documents — store and manage documents per supplier

Written by Hanna Egeman

Supplier paperwork has a habit of ending up everywhere — laptops, shared drives, spreadsheets, email threads. When the document you need is in five possible places, it's hard to stay confident that you're looking at the right version, or that nothing important is missing.

The Supplier documents area gives you one place on each supplier's profile to upload, view, and manage supplier-related documents — so your team can stop juggling tools and use Fill as the single source of truth for supplier information.

Why store supplier documents in Fill

Procurement and supplier management work depends on having the right paperwork at the right moment. Common examples include:

  • NDAs that suppliers need to sign before receiving requests

  • Certifications and compliance documents

  • Master agreements and addendums

  • Insurance certificates

Keeping all of these on the supplier's profile in Fill means you never have to remember which colleague has which file. It also reduces compliance risk — there's a clear, shared place for the document, and a clear history of what's been uploaded.

Where to find Supplier documents

Supplier documents live on the supplier's profile in Fill:

  1. Open the supplier you want to manage

  2. Navigate to the Documents tab

Here you'll see all documents currently stored for that supplier, with the most recent at the top.

Uploading a document

To add a new document:

  1. Open the supplier's Documents tab

  2. Select Upload document

  3. Choose the file from your computer

  4. Add a name and any details that help your colleagues find it later

Once uploaded, the document is immediately available to other superusers in your organisation.

Viewing and removing documents

From the Documents tab you can:

  • Open a document to preview or download it

  • See who uploaded it and when

  • Remove documents that are no longer relevant

It's recommended to keep your supplier documents tidy by removing outdated files, so the most current version is always easy to find.

Who can manage supplier documents

Uploading, editing, and removing supplier documents is available to superusers in your organisation. This keeps document management consistent and ensures supplier paperwork is owned by the people responsible for procurement.

Frequently asked questions

What types of files can I upload?

Standard document and image formats are supported. If you have a specific format in mind, try uploading it — Fill will tell you if the file type isn't accepted.

Can suppliers see the documents I upload to their profile?

No. Supplier documents are only visible to superusers in your own organisation. Suppliers do not see what is stored on their profile.

Is there a limit on how many documents I can store per supplier?

There's no fixed limit. For the best experience, it's recommended to keep the list focused on documents your team actually needs to reach.
