# How to add a supplier's product

> Add a supplier's product to ChemCloud and link it to your internal raw materials

This guide shows you how to add a supplier's product to ChemCloud. Supplier products represent what the supplier sells - which you then link to your internal raw materials through approved material records.

***

## Add a supplier's product

1. Navigate to **[Suppliers](https://app.chemcloud.com.au/buyer/suppliers)** from the main menu
2. Click on the supplier to open their record
3. Go to the **Products** tab
4. Click **Add Product**
5. Enter the product details
6. Click **Save**

## Field descriptions

| Field        | What to enter                        | Why it matters                                        |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Product Name | The supplier's product name          | Identifies the specific product from this supplier    |
| Product Code | The supplier's product code or SKU   | Helps match orders and documents to the right product |
| Description  | Additional details about the product | Clarifies differences between similar products        |

## Alternative: Add during approval creation

You can also add a supplier's product while creating an approved material:

1. Go to **Products > Approved Materials**
2. Click **Add Approved Material**
3. Select your product and supplier
4. In the **Supplier's Product** field, click **Add New**
5. Enter the product details and save

This is often faster when you're adding a new approval and the supplier's product doesn't exist yet.

## What's next?

After adding a supplier's product:

* Create an approved material record to link it to your raw material
* Upload relevant documents to the approval record
