How to add Vendors and Warehouses on ConnectBooks

Add vendors, warehouses and other lists from the Lists page in ConnectStock.

After creating an inventory file, you'll see the Lists page under the ConnectStock tab. It holds the names you pick from in ConnectStock forms.

What each tab holds

  • Vendors: who you buy from.

  • Customers: who you sell to.

  • Warehouses: where you keep stock. Shows only when Warehouse Tracking is on.

  • Regions: groups of warehouses, used for forecasting. Shows only when Region Tracking is on.

  • Tags, Brands, Categories and Manufacturers: labels for your items. You can filter the Items page by Category, Brand, Manufacturer and Tag.

  • Buyers: the users on your account. You can pick them as buyers on your items.

  • PO Workflow Tags: labels that show where a purchase order is. See How to Use Workflow Tags on Purchase Orders.

  • Invoice Tags: labels for your sales invoices.

Add a vendor

Select the Vendors tab and click Add vendor at the top of the page.

Add a warehouse

First, turn on Warehouse Tracking in File Settings, Inventory & Warehouse. Go to Stores & Files, then Inventory Files, and click your inventory file. Click Inventory & Warehouse, click Edit, turn on Warehouse Tracking, then click Save. The Warehouses tab now shows on the Lists page.

Select the Warehouses tab and click Add warehouse at the top of the page. There are 2 types: standard and in transit warehouses.

Add from a form

You can also add new entries directly when filling out a form that needs that information. For example, if a field asks for a vendor, there will be an option to add a new vendor right there.
