To add a vendor card

The Cards List window should be displayed. (To find the Cards List window)

1. Click the Vendor tab at the top of the window. Then click New.



2. The Profile view of the Card Information window appears. Enter the vendor's name and as much contact information as you care to track. Note that you can enter up to five different addresses and sets of phone numbers by choosing different selections in the Location field. (Using the Profile view - Card Information window)



3. If you've set up custom lists or fields, or if you want to add a picture of the vendor, do so using the Card Details tab. (Adding custom lists and fields)



4. Click the Buying Details tab and enter credit terms and other purchasing-related details. The entries you make here will appear automatically on the purchases assigned to the vendor, but you can change them, if necessary, when making the purchase. (Using the Buying Details view - Card Information window)

Note:  You can set up credit terms for all new customers and vendors

You should also choose a purchase layout for the vendor. If you generally purchase goods from the vendor, choose the Item layout. If you purchase services, choose the Service or Professional layout.

If your purchases from this vendor are usually assigned to the same expense account, enter it here. This account will appear as a default entry in the Purchases window, saving you considerable time when entering purchase orders or bills.

5. Click OK.
