Adding Vendors
Vendors are businesses and people who regularly sell you goods and services. When you enter vendor information in QuickBooks, you have all the details you need to contact your vendors, prepare purchase forms, process year-end 1099 forms, write checks, and create reports of your company's spending.
Enter Vendor Address Information
Click the Vendor Center button on the toolbar. In the Vendor Center, select the Vendors tab. Click the New Vendor button
at the top of the Vendor list to open the New Vendor window.
Enter a name for the vendor. This is the name you will use to select the vendor from your vendor list. It doesn't have to
be the name printed on vendor forms or checks.
If a balance is due to this vendor at your company's QuickBooks start date, enter the amount and the start date in the Opening
Balance field.
Enter the vendor's legal name in the Company Name field. This is the name that appears on forms you prepare for this vendor.
Enter the name of a personal contact, if applicable, and the mailing address of the vendor.
Enter other pertinent information that you want to save.
If there is a name other than the Company Name that needs to appear on checks to this vendor, enter that name in the space
provided.
