Before you memorize a journal entry, you need to create one first. Here are the steps to follow when making one:

• Step 1: Go to Lists → Relationships → Vendors → New.
• Step 2: In Vendor page, under Custom Form, choose Standard Vendor Form from the list.

• Step 3: Enter the details in the necessary fields.
  1. For this example, we will be using the Standard Vendor Form. Here, the Vendor ID is automatically created through the Auto Check Box.

If you choose to create your own Vendor ID, do the following:

• • Uncheck the Auto field.
  • Type in the Vendor ID of your choosing.

• Step 4: For Type, choose Company (Standard Vendor Form) or Individual (own Vendor ID).
• Step 5: Enter Company Name and select Category from the dropdown.

• Step 6: Input other information like Email, Phone, Phone, Fax and Address.

• Step 7: Under Classification, select a Subsidiary. Additional Subsidiaries can be added under the SubsidiariesThis feature will allow you to make payments to the vendor through different subsidiaries. All subsidiaries from the list can be added.

• Step 8: Add additional information about each vendor by clicking through the other subtabs.

• Under System Information, you may allow the Vendor access to your NetSuite System and see their information.

• Step 9: Click Save after all information are entered. A confirmation message will appear on top of the page.
