How to Add, Edit, and Delete a Vendor
Complete guide to managing vendor records in the directory: creating new entries, updating contact details, and safely removing contractors.
Managing your contractor relationships starts with maintaining accurate contact data.
Adding a New Vendor
- Navigate to the Vendors page in the sidebar.
- Click "Add Vendor".
- Fill in: Name, Company, Email, Phone, and Notes.
- Click "Save".
The vendor is immediately available in the dropdown pickers on Maintenance and Expense forms.
Editing an Existing Vendor
- Open the Vendors page.
- Click the Action Menu (three dots) on the vendor row.
- Select "Edit".
- Update any fields (e.g., new phone number, new email).
- Click "Save Changes".
Changes propagate instantly—any existing maintenance request or expense already tagged with this vendor will reflect the updated contact info.
Deleting a Vendor
- Click the Action Menu on the vendor row.
- Select "Delete".
- Confirm the deletion.
[!WARNING] Deleting a vendor removes their profile from the directory. However, maintenance requests and expenses previously tagged with this vendor will retain a reference to the vendor name for historical accuracy. The vendor simply won't appear in future dropdown selectors.
When to Delete
- Contractor retired or went out of business.
- Duplicate vendor entries.
When NOT to Delete
- You're simply not using them right now. Keep them in the directory for future reference—their historical cost data is valuable.
