Vendors are people or companies that you owe money to or subcontractors that work for you. You can use the vendors tab to add and track them. Here's how:
- Go to Expenses and select Vendors (Take me there).
- Select New vendor.
- Complete the fields in the Vendor information window.
- Select Save.
Tip: Find here an example of the Excel Spreadsheet to add your vendors to QuickBooks Online.
You cannot delete a vendor at this time, but you can make one permanently inactive.
- Go to Expenses, then Vendors (Take me there).
- Select Make inactive in the dropdown menu beside the vendor you want to make inactive.
Instead of making them inactive, it's better in some situations to merge accounts, customers, vendors instead.
