I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this but I am wondering if the accounts payable module could have a feature added to it where you could add vendors from within a transaction. In other words, I am in maintain manual checks and entering a new one. When I get to the vendor I typed what would be the obvious choice and got the error message that that was not found. Could this be changed to ask if you wanted to add this as a vendor and if yes you could be sent to the add vendor window. If that can't be done, can an add button be added to the list of vendors that would take you to the add vendor window just like you are able to add a new contributor or add someone to the list of attendees?

THanks!!

Laurie,

Just leave the manual checks screen open and select Accounting -> Accounts Payable -> Maintain Vendor records and add your vendor. When you are done, switch back to the manual check screen and the lookup will now have that vendor listed. There is no need to close manual check window in order to add a new vendor.

The reason contributions has a function to add a new person, is that often people adding contributions don't have access to the membership modules. The add done in contributions is very quck with just minimal information.

Okay -- I will be sure to do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
