# Drop vendor file at SFTP path



## OpenAPI

````yaml /tango_common/integrations/guides/vendor-inbound-file.yaml post /inbound/vendor
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Tango Vendor Inbound — File
  version: '0.6'
  description: |
    SFTP file-based inbound. Client drops a pipe-delimited file of vendor /
    supplier records to Tango's SFTP server. Tango picks up the file and
    creates / updates vendor records. Inactivation via `status = I`. Tango
    never deletes vendors.

    Out-of-scope for this integration (must be done manually in UI):
      - Linking a vendor to a lease.
      - Adding / updating vendor contacts.

    Field names differ from the API variant — file uses `vendor_number` /
    `phone_number` / `address_1` while API uses `Supplier_number` /
    `business_phone` / `address1`.
