How to get value of WebElement

I am trying to loop through table elements on a page of our ERP system.

Based on a question I asked before I thought this would be a slam dunk - but I cannot figure it out.

Here's the latest code I've tried:

approved_suppliers = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//tbody[@id='ApprovedSupplierBody']")
for supplier in approved_suppliers:
    print('Supplier',supplier.id)

if I substitute print('Supplier',supplier.id) with print('Supplier',supplier.value) I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'WebElement' object has no attribute 'value'

In the screenshot example I want the code to print 300 Below, and when there are multiple suppliers the names of the fields increase by 1. For example, pik_Supplier_1, pik_Supplier_2, etc.

enter image description here

The element with id ApprovedSupplierBody is a single element, to get the elements with id pikSupplier you need to include it in the xpath

approved_suppliers = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//tbody[@id='ApprovedSupplierBody']//input[starts-with(@id, 'pikSupplier')]")

To get the value you need to use get_attribute to get the value property

supplier.get_attribute('value')

You need to do the same with id, supplier.id will return internal WebElement's id property, something like 92505ac9-2c32-447e-b94a-8c7398b53e0e and not ApprovedSupplier.
