Create a Vendor

The Sample Company is created for the current Tutorial. It is made for you to easier understand how the Free Accounting works. There already exists a list of Vendors, but we will try to create a new one in order to learn how to do this.
In the current lesson you will learn how to add a new Vendor to the Free Accounting program to order the items from him.


Let's assume, that you have Vendor's information:

Suppose, you are interested in the products that this Vendor supplies and you signed an agreement with him about cooperation, according to which the payment terms were agreed (Net 30) and ship via (Common Carrier). He has also given the additional information about his company:

    - EIN - 45-45897123;
    - Account - 2100-Accounts Payable;
    - Web address - www.vista.com;
    - E-mail - vista_pak@vista.com.

Having his data you are to make a record in Free Accounting in order to conduct your business with this Vendor. Take the following steps to add the above Vendor to the Vendor List:
  1. Press on the Commands Panel, select Vendors List in the Navigation Pane, make right click in the working pane and select Add.
  2. Enter the information provided on the Vendor's business card.
  3. Insert the above data into the fields of the Payment/Order terms tab. If the address corresponds to the address on the Address Info tab, press the Copy from Address Info button.
  4. Press the Ok button.

When you have finished, you will see the following windows filled with the provided information.


Note: Some fields on this tab and on the following ones are optional. But it is strongly recommended to fill in all the fields in order to avoid errors.

The added Vendor is to be displayed in the Vendor List in the working pane. In the further lessons you will order some items from him. In the following lesson you'll learn how to create a new item in Free Accounting.
