How to create or add a vendor

There are two ways to create vendors: in the Vendor setup screen, or when entering bills you can create a vendor on the fly.

To add a new vendor, click Vendors, and fill out the General Information tab then click Submit.  Once the vendor is created you can fill in the information in the other three tabs (Acct. Distribution, 1099/Checks, and Comment).

Before adding a vendor, you may want to check to see if the vendor already exists by using Find Vendor (for active or inactive vendors) or Quick Find (for active vendors). If the software tells you the vendor already exits you may have inactivated a vendor and you may just mark the active option again. See, How to find a vendor and update the active status.
