There are 2 ways to add vendors in Flare: from Purchases > Vendors, or when recording a bill. Let’s look at Flare’s Vendor module. See Record your first bill to learn how to add vendors on the fly when creating a bill.

To add a vendor, do the following:

1. In Flare’s main menu, click Purchases > Vendors (1 and 2 below).
   
   
   
   
2. Click the Create Vendor button (3 above). A modal window will open.
   
   
3. Enter the vendor details (4 below) and click the Save button (5).
   
   

The vendor will now appear in the vendor dropdown when you record a bill.

To view a list of all vendors, their bills and balances owing:

1.  Click Purchases > Vendors in Flare’s main menu.
   
   
2. Click a company name link from the Vendor list (1 below) to view a vendor’s transaction history, or, click the filter icon (2) to search for a vendor by company name or contact name.
