Vendors list, QuickBooks asks you if you want to Quick Add it. Go ahead and do that. You can go back to the
Vendors list later and add more details about this vendor.
You can use the Vendors area on the Home page to enter your transactions. Remember, you only need to enter the
transactions between your company file’s start date and today.
Enter these transactions in this order, and be sure you enter the correct date. You can enter all these transactions
from the Home page.
• Purchase orders. If you use them, enter your purchase orders first. You’ll use these PO transactions when you
enter bills.
• Bills. For all the bills you’ve received, enter the information about each bill. Be sure to assign amounts to the
correct expense accounts or track the quantities and costs of items received. If you need details about doing
this, check the Help.
• Inventory item receipts. If you received items you’ve ordered but didn’t get a bill for them, choose Receive
Inventory and enter an item receipt.
• Credits from vendors. If you have a credit from a vendor, choose Enter Bills and select Credit at the top of the
windows.
• Payments. For payments you've made, choose Pay Bills. Be sure the Payment Date field shows the actual day
you made the payment. Also check that you select the correct bank account for the payment.
That’s it for entering your vendor transactions. Next, we’ll talk about entering transactions related to your
customers.
