# How to add a vendor
## Vendors sell you products and services like parts. When you create a vendor emdecs one can track purchase orders and invoices from that vendor.
Who is this article for? Super Admins using **emdecs one**'s web client.
Begin by selecting the **Contact \> Vendors** option from the side menu bar. You'll then see the main Vendors screen, which will list all of the vendors currently in **emdecs one**:
******
Click the **New Vendor** button in the upper right and a blank form will open so you can enter the details about your new vendor:
******
You'll need to fill in these pieces of information:
- The vendor's name
- Their address. **emdecs one** has a built-in address look up, so as you type the vendor's street address it will show you possible matches for what you have typed. If you click one of the suggestions, **emdecs one** will auto-fill all of the address details for you.
- The currency in which the vendor charges you for their services. This is usually your local currency, but if your vendor is located in another country and uses their currency on invoices, you can set it here.
There's also several optional fields you can use to track other details if you like:
- Contact information. **emdecs one** lets you add one contact person right away, and if you click the Add Contact button you can continue to add more.
- Payment Terms. Leaving this blank will set this vendor to Payment Due on Delivery, but you can also select Net 30, Net 60, and so on if that is your agreement with the vendor.
- Discount Applied. If you receive a discount for paying within the payment terms, enter it here.
Click the **Add Vendor** button to save your new vendor. Then **emdecs one** will add it to the main Vendor list and then you will be able to select them when receiving an invoice from them.
