Card Information window

Buying Details view

The Card Information window allows you to add, change, delete and view information about individual customer, vendors, employees and personal contacts -- known as cards. The window has multiple views.

The Buying Details window is available only when the card type is Vendor.

You can use the Buying Details view to record the credit limit and terms the selected vendor has extended to your company, along with entries that will make it easier and faster for you to create quotes, purchase orders and bills for the vendor.

The buying information you enter here will be used when you enter bills for a vendor. Enter a purchase layout for each vendor and the layout you choose will be displayed when you enter the vendor's name in the Purchases window. Similarly, if you enter a choice in the Printed Form field, that form will be used when you print the purchase for the vendor.

If you choose the service layout, you can assign a default cost of sales or expense account for a vendor. Then when you enter purchases for this vendor, the account will be entered automatically when you enter line items on the purchase. You can change these automatic vendor entries if you wish.

You can add many other types of useful information about your vendors in the Buying Details view:
