Vendors (CQ)

Vendors are suppliers of goods and services that need to be paid. They can be paid either via vendor invoices or via expense reports. You need to create a vendor before you can enter an invoice for that vendor. Resources that need to be reimbursed via expense reports do not need to be set up as vendors.

Vendors that are paid via expense reports are typically credit card companies. When a resource reports an expense that was paid via a company credit card the resource specifies that the credit card company is the vendor that needs to be repaid and not the resource. Each vendor can be restricted to specific employees, such as the employees that are authorized to use a specific credit card.
