This way the suppliers you create afterwards will already have some default information filled in. See [Create a supplier class](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/suppliers/create-a-supplier-class/). To set a supplier class as default, see [Set a supplier class as default](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/suppliers/set-a-supplier-class-as-default/). If you do not want to use the default supplier class for the supplier you are creating, you can select a different one on the **General settings** tab, in the section **Financial settings. Visma Net immediately changes the related information.** 1. Go to the [Suppliers (AP303000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/suppliers-ap303000/) window. 1.
