Vendors are the companies and businesses that you purchase products from. If you manufacture your own products than you might be your own Vendor. In most cases, if you are a retailer, you will purchase products that you plan on selling from multiple vendors and therefore keeping track of these companies and contacts is paramount.

Vendors are made up of the following sections:

Warehouses:

Warehouses allow you to indicate where physical product is stored. Warehouses can also be used if you are a brick and mortar to indicate what products you have in stock at different locations. The Warehouse table in Vendors indicates what warehouses a particular warehouse is mapped to. This is important as Vendors are mapped to both Products and SKUs. Therefore, where a Product or SKU is located is dependent on what Vendors they are mapped to as there is no way to directly associate a Product or SKU to a warehouse. They must be mapped using Vendors.

Warehouse ID	This is the ID for the Warehouse or locations where you store your inventory. This ID can also be used in the Import/Export process as well when creating or updating Products and SKUs.
Warehouse Name	This is the name of the warehouse or location you have specified when you created your warehouses. Access to warehouses also depends on the subscription plan you are currently on.

The Purchase Orders section of Vendors indicates what Purchase Orders have been related and placed for this particular Vendor. You can drill in on any PO that shows up in the table and you will be taken to that particular Purchase Orders details page.
