I am not a admin but I just want to tell you that in general, a one-time supplier is a supplier that a company only intends to use for a single transaction or a limited number of transactions. On the other hand, a B2B supplier is a supplier that a company has an ongoing business relationship with and plans to purchase goods or services from on a regular basis.

More specifically, on the supplier page - general tab, the difference between a one-time supplier and a B2B supplier can be indicated through the supplier's status. A one-time supplier would likely have a status such as "inactive" or "completed," indicating that the transaction(s) with the supplier have been concluded. In contrast, a B2B supplier would likely have a status such as "active" or "preferred," indicating that the supplier is an ongoing or preferred supplier for the company.

In terms of the information displayed on the supplier page - general tab, the main difference between a one-time supplier and a B2B supplier may be the level of detail provided. For a one-time supplier, the page may only display basic information such as the supplier name, contact information, and transaction details. For a B2B supplier, the page may also include more detailed information such as supplier history, performance metrics, and contract terms. PartyCityFeedback

Overall, the main difference between a one-time supplier and a B2B supplier is the nature of the business relationship between the company and the supplier. A one-time supplier is typically used for a single transaction or a limited number of transactions, while a B2B supplier is a long-term partner that the company plans to work with on an ongoing basis.
