In a supply chain, a vendor, supplier, provider or a seller, is an enterprise that contributes goods or services. Generally, a supply chain vendor manufactures inventory/stock items and sells them to the next link in the chain. Today, these terms refer to a supplier of any goods or service.
A vendor is a supply chain management term that means anyone who provides goods or services of experience to another entity. Vendors may sell B2B (business-to-business; i.e., to other companies), B2C (business to consumers or Direct-to-consumer), or B2G (business to government). Some vendors manufacture inventoriable items and then sell those items to customers, while other vendors offer services or experiences.
The term vendor and the term supplier are often used indifferently. The difference is that the vendors sells the goods or services while the supplier provides the goods or services. In most of business context, except retail, this difference has no impact and words are interchangeable.
Typically vendors are tracked in either a finance system or a warehouse management system.
Vendors are often managed with a vendor compliance checklist or vendor quality audits, and these activities can be effectively managed by software tools.
Purchase orders are usually used as a contractual agreement with vendors to buy goods or services.
Vendors may or may not function as distributors or manufacturers of goods. If vendors are also manufacturers, they may either build to stock or build to order.
"Vendor" is often a generic term, used for suppliers of industries from retail sales to manufacturers to city organizations. The term generally applies only to the immediate seller, or the organization that is paid for the goods, rather than to the original manufacturer or the organization performing the service if it is different from the immediate supplier.
There are four basic sorts of vendors in the supply chain, and the companies and business owners play diverse responsibilities.

Pour une entreprise, les stocks représentent les biens achetés, transformés ou à vendre à un moment donné. Le stock représente de manière habituelle, l'ensemble des biens qui interviennent dans le cycle d'exploitation de l'entreprise ou qui peuvent être vendus « en l'état ». Une entreprise peut détenir plusieurs types de stocks tels que : Matière première, Produit en cours de fabrication sous forme de sous-ensemble ou d’élément complet, Produit manufacturé prêt à être vendu, ou à être utilisé dans la chaine de fabrication, Produits "défectueux" ou obsolète devant être "mis à jour" ou réparé.
A supply chain, sometimes expressed as a "supply-chain", is a complex logistics system that consists of facilities that convert raw materials into finished products and distribute them to end consumers or end customers. Meanwhile, supply chain management deals with the flow of goods within the supply chain in the most efficient manner. In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products may re-enter the supply chain at any point where residual value is recyclable. Supply chains link value chains.
Une vente est une convention par laquelle le vendeur s'oblige à livrer un bien ou un service, et l'acheteur à le payer. En d'autres termes, une vente est une action par laquelle un bien ou un droit détenu par un vendeur est cédé à un acheteur contre une somme d’argent (prix de vente). Lorsque la contrepartie n'est pas de l'argent, alors il ne s'agit pas de vente mais d'un échange ou d'un troc. En droit civil français, la vente est définie à l'article 1582 alinéa 1er du Code civil de 1804.
