CHAPTER 6
Paying others
Part of doing business is paying others for services or goods that other businesses have provided. This probably
isn’t a mystery for you. You do this in your non-business life, too. You go to the store to buy things you need. You
pay bills for your utilities and your Internet service. It works the same way with your business.
Vendor Center
If you pay them, they're a vendor. Vendors are people or companies you pay because you've bought things from
them or they've provided a service for you. A vendor can be the electric company, a supplier you buy inventory
from, or the contractor you hired to help you with a project.
The Vendor Center gives you access to information about all of your vendors and your transactions in one place.
Here you can quickly find vendor contact information, what you've bought in the past, what bills you've paid, the
balance you owe, notes you want to keep about a vendor, and more. You can also quickly access transactions such
as bills, payments, and purchase orders.
In the default view of your Vendor Center, the Vendor list is displayed on the left side of the Center, and the detail
information and transactions list for the selected vendor are displayed on the right. Use the views and icons at the
bottom of the Vendor Center to manage your vendor information.
Note: You can click Expand to expand the Vendor list to the full Vendor Center.
