Vendor

The Vendor form is used to manage your vendor records.

Vendors are outside agencies hired by a company for a specific type of work. The vendor will hire its own employees to do work for the company, typically as contractors or subcontractors. Because these employees work for the vendor and not the company, their pay rates may be different from the company’s regular employees.

Vendors and vendor rates are assigned to a person using the Vendor Rate tab on the Employee form. The Paid Rate Rules (assigned to a person via the Pay Policy) must be defined to calculate the vendor rate.

Note: Vendors and vendor rates can also be assigned to persons via the Subcontractor import context. Vendors that you import in this manner will also display on the Vendor form.
