The suppliers are then read in and displayed in FUTURA Engineering.
Updating existing suppliers:
If the supplier is already in the system (the supplier number is checked or, if not specified, the name), then the supplier data is updated.
If an existing contact person (same e-mail address) is specified under the existing supplier, this will also be updated. If a new contact person is specified, another new contact person is created under the existing supplier.
