Create a Vendor "On the Fly"

You can add a vendor "on the fly" when you create a purchase invoice or when you're making a pre-payment to a vendor.

To add a vendor "on the fly":

1. In the Purchases, Orders, and Quotes window, in the Vendor box (or in the Payments window, in the Pay To the Order box), type the name of the vendor you want to add and press TAB.
2. Select a method for adding the vendor name:
• Continue. Return to the transaction window without adding this new vendor to your company records.
• Quick Add. Add just the vendor's name to the record. You can always add or change that vendor's contact information after processing the bill or prepayment.
• Full Add. Enter a complete vendor record.
3. Continue filling in the other boxes in the window.

Note: If you have Sage Simply Accounting - Enterprise Edition, you can also create a vendor "on the fly" in the Inventory & Vendors window. Double-click in the Vendor column and click Create. (Enterprise)
