  1. Choose Setup > Vendors.
  2. In the Vendors window, click the Add button.
  3. In the General tab, only the Name field is required. You may use the other fields to enter the vendor's address, phone, contact person, EIN, and vendor account number (if any).

    Note: The Account # field on the General tab is not for the GL account number. During a later step in this procedure, enter the default GL account number(s) for the vendor in the Standard Check grid on the Distributions tab.

For a Write-Up CS client, also enter a GL account number on the same line as the 1099 item.
