✅

Because the SuppliersForm is closely related to the Company Model, it’ll be best to make use of a ModelForm. A ModelForm will reuse the field definitions in its associated Model and can handle the creation of the database object.

You should also make the company_rating field on the Company model a choice field, similar to the company_status and company_size fields.

models.py

class Company(models.Model):
    ...

    COMPANY_RATING_CHOICES = (
        ('Perfect', 'Perfect'),
        ('Average', 'Average'),
        ('Bad', 'Bad'),
    )
    ...
    company_rating = models.CharField(choices=COMPANY_RATING_CHOICES, max_length=20, default='Perfect', null=True)

forms.py

from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

class SuppliersForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Company
        fields = '__all__'
        labels = {
            'company_name': _('Company Name'),
            'company_number': _('Company Number'),
            'company_vat_number': _('Company Vat Number'),
            'company_status': _('Company Status'),
            'company_size': _('Company Size'),
            'company_rating': _('Company Rating'),
        }

views.py

def suppliers_create(request):  
    
    if request.method == 'POST':        
        form = SuppliersForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():            
            form.save()       
            return redirect('/suppliers')
    else:
        form = SuppliersForm()
    return render(request, 'suppliers/suppliers_create.html', {'form': form})
