Use this information to create an account for each of the vendors you do business with.

Note

To expedite the creation of vendors, you can create templates (for use by all users or a single user) that are based on the field entries for specific vendors that you specify as template models. If a template is available when you begin to create a new vendor, a form appears that displays the available vendor templates. You select the template that contains the information that applies to the new vendor. The field values of the template are copied to the fields of the new vendor. You can then make changes to the fields and enter more information, as is appropriate. For more information, see Using record templates.
