# Vendors Home

Vendors are your suppliers of products and services. They are used in PhreeBooks to represent people or companies that payments are made to. This will include suppliers of your inventory items, governmental organizations for tax payments, services provided to your company (shipping companies, payroll, utilities, professional services, etc) and other expense related accounts. Generally, vendors include anyone that you make payments to.

- Fields for main account address along with unlimited branch billing addresses and shipping addresses.
- Default general ledger settings for purchases
- 2 main telephone numbers, 1 fax number, email and website fields
