How to manage vendors?

Before any orders can be places you must first enter at least one vendor.

You can define contracts (with a start and end date) and attach them to a vendor. This is used so that at the end of the year you can see how much you spent on a specific contract with a vendor. In some places, contracts are set up with a minimum and maximum yearly amount.

At the top of a Vendor Information Page, you will see a 'New Contract' button.

You cannot enter a contract retrospectively. The end date must not be before today's date.

Once the contract is saved it will appear below the vendor information.
