Vendors

[Pat]

I would like to know if it is always necessary to have a vendor in the vendor list, prior to making a payment. We have some vendors that we will use only once, but still have to set them up in the list of vendors. After awhile that list will get rather large due to vendors we no longer use. Just hoping there is a way around it.

Thanks

Pat,

If you don't mind using some manually written checks rather than a computer generated check for these "unusual" times, you can write a manual check to some of these one-time write-outs, making notations on your stub copy to clarify what it was for, etc.

Then set up one vendor called "Miscellaneous Checks." Do a manual check entry on the computer to Misc. Checks, posting it to the proper account for what the person received the check for. Be sure and keep the copy or stub on file for audits, etc. This is for when you know you will never be writing a check to this vendor again.
