Overview

Vendors represent companies or individuals you pay for goods or services. Managing vendors allows you to track expenses, create bills, and maintain an organized accounts payable system.

How It Works

Create a vendor - Add a new vendor with contact and payment details
Create bills - Associate bills with the vendor for expenses owed
Track payments - Monitor payments made to each vendor
Export data - Download vendor information for your accounting system

Example: Add "Content Provider Inc." as a vendor with their payment details. When you receive their monthly invoice, create a bill linked to this vendor for easy tracking and payment.
