Select the date.

Vendor address

Ship To

Enter the address the products should be sent to. Leave this blank if this is not required.

Select the special sales tax exempt option if this is a supplier who is sales-tax exempt (a foreign supplier, for example).

Accounts Payable Items

This is the list of items on the bill. Click on the Add button to add a new item, then click within the Item or Description cells to access a drop-menu where you can select an item, or type the name of a new item.

When you enter new items here, they will automatically be added to the Items List so you can quickly add them to orders, quotes and invoices later.
