Description

Create, edit, and view Vendors from this page, as well as drill into individual Vendors to review their details. This list is a great place to gather IDs for bulk uploads, and manage Vendor information for producing reports like 1099s.

Add/Edit Vendor

Enter all required fields and click submit. You can also click the down arrow next to the submit button and click 'Submit and New' to open a new blank Vendor to complete.

Note: On initial Vendor creation, you have the option to create an address and a contact. You may always create new addresses and contacts after initial creation in the user interface.

The following fields are available for Vendors:

  • Name - The Vendor's name, this is used to reference the Vendor throughout the product.

  • Name on Check - The name to be printed on a check when paying Bills by check.

  • Account Number - Account number for this Vendor.

  • Email - The Vendor's email address.

  • Terms - Text field to enter any additional terms of this Vendor (e.g. Net 30 payment)

  • EIN/SSN - EIN/SSN used for 1099 purposes.

  • Track for 1099 - Toggle On to track this users Bills for 1099 values.

  • Default Currency - Enter a default currency that will populate on Documents when this Vendor is selected.

  • Default Expense Account - Expense Ledger Account number to be defaulted when this vendor is utilized when creating a Bill.

  • Default Date Due - Default number of days from the transaction date that the due date should populate to.

  • Inactive - Inactive Vendors will no longer be available to select in drop down lists. Note: Any previously created Documents (e.g. Bills/AP Credits/POs) with the inactive Vendor will still be included in tables and users can take actions against.

  • Contacts and Address - You can add multiple contacts and addresses associated with each vendor with the fields in view in the screenshot above (Begin entering the address in Line 1 and see suggestions to auto-complete address).

  • Custom Fields - you can add custom fields under Settings and then use in bulk upload or in the user interface to add more detail where appropriate.

Vendor Table Actions

  • Edit - Update Vendor details.

  • Delete - Delete this Vendor (could fail if another object such as Journal Entries are using this).

  • Details - Click the customer name to view the customer's detail Page. For more information see this article: Customer Details

To bring Vendors into the product through an excel upload, navigate to the Dimension Upload section to get the template and upload.
