A Vendor provides a product or service to your organization. Vendors are first created as constituents in Argenta, and then an existing constituent is designated as a Vendor.
 
To get started, choose Products & Inventory > Product Vendors from the Argenta main menu on the left-hand side of the screen. This opens your Product Vendors list.
 
From the list, click the Add A New Vendor button. This opens the Designate A Constituent As A Vendor screen, where you fill out a couple of quick details:
 
1. Constituent – Start typing the constituent's name and select the matching constituent from the list. If you need to add a brand-new constituent, click the add icon to create one without leaving this screen. This field is required.
 
2. Vendor Type – Select the type from the drop-down list.
 
When you are ready, click the Add Vendor & Enter Details button. Argenta creates the vendor and opens its detail page, where you can enter the rest of the vendor's information, such as the account number and standard payment method. Your new vendor will appear in the Product Vendors list.
