TRAX POS provides built-in Excel export and batch management tools, allowing you to share vendor lists with accounting departments or perform complete catalog resets.
1. Exporting Supplier Records to Excel (.xlsx) #
- Navigate to Suppliers (
/home/suppliers). - Verify that your table contains active supplier records (the export button automatically disables if the list is empty).
- Click the Export to Excel button (with the green spreadsheet icon
pi pi-file-export) in the top toolbar. - The system instantly compiles and downloads a structured spreadsheet:
suppliers_export.xlsx.

2. Exported Excel Data Structure #
The exported .xlsx file contains dedicated columns:
- Supplier Name: Registered company or merchant title.
- Contact Information: Telephone numbers, email addresses, or physical locations.
- Date Added: Creation or auto-detection date.
- Associated Products Count: Total number of inventory items supplied by this vendor.
- Linked Product List: Full item names and scannable barcode numbers for procurement reference.
3. Inspecting Linked Products via Interactive Tooltip #
In the web interface table:
- For vendors with more than 3 products, a gray badge displays:
+X more. - Hover your mouse over this badge: An interactive tooltip pop-up appears displaying the full scrollable list of all linked products and their barcodes, eliminating the need to open the edit modal.
4. Batch Operation: Delete All Suppliers #
If you need to perform a complete supplier database reset or reload a clean catalog:
- Click the red Delete All button (
pi pi-trash) in the toolbar. - A critical confirmation modal appears: “Are you sure you want to delete all suppliers?”.
- Click Confirm Delete.
- The suppliers list is completely cleared, and you can re-populate it manually or via the Refresh auto-scanner.
