- Name
- Phone Number
- Address
- Tax ID
- Other notes/ info
Some of these are mandatory, others – optional. After you input the data – hit ‘Save vendor‘ to record the changes. You can change the details for each vendor and save the changes anytime.
*You can add pictures for each vendor from your device’s camera or gallery.
Vendors and Suppliers in Accounting
Once your Vendors are saved in your business profile – you can start using them for your accounting.
Two major Accounting items are commonly used with the Vendor info – Expenses and Purchases. For Purchases – you can input which part you’ve bought, where is it coming from, the quantity, and who’s the vendor.
For Expenses – you can select an Expense type along with a Vendor and fill in the details. You can list a part/ item purchase as an Expense too. You can fill in more details such as Total Amount, Paid Amount, Tax, Invoice #, and more.
You can sort and filter all Accounting records from your Vendors using the Grid View. By using the List View – the first thing you’ll see in the Accounting section is the Vendor’s picture.
Vendor Reports
You can create detailed reports for your Vendors based on the transactions you have together. The reports allow you to track details about the total Expenses and Purchases you have with a certain Vendor for a specific timeframe.
You can add or remove data fields while using the grid view. You can filter the data every month or however, you like and export the reports for your reference.
The reports and stats section in ARI lets you monitor, export, and manage all key business information about your shop. You can check the data, segment, and filter it, or create detailed CSV reports for your Invoices, Clients, Vendors, and others and export them quickly.
