Adding New Vendor Records During Transaction Entry

You can add new vendor records to Accounts Payable from all of the Purchase Orders transaction-entry forms, or type new vendor numbers then add them later in Accounts Payable.

This feature lets you add new vendors "on the fly" so that you can enter transactions for vendors who are not in your Accounts Payable data, even if you do not have time or rights to add vendor accounts in Accounts Payable.

To add a new vendor record from a Purchase Orders form, type the vendor number, press Tab, then use the "New" icon next to the Vendor Number field to open the Vendors form in Accounts Payable and add the record. When you close the Vendors form, you are returned to the Purchase Orders form you were using.

If you do not want to add the record in Accounts Payable while you are entering Purchase Orders transactions, you can just type the new vendor number and the name of the account in the Purchase Orders transaction-entry form, then add the vendor to Accounts Payable later (before you post the Purchase Orders transactions).
