Get Started With Vendor Expenses

Vendor expenses are expenses associated with a project and submitted as a bill from a vendor. For example, say you have an engineering company. You’re working on a project that’ll use a specific type of concrete. You want a third party to advise you before you use it. The third-party will send you a bill, which you’ll log as a vendor expense in BigTime.

Vendor expenses give you the means to log third party expenses without relying on your accounting system to enter the vendor bill. Simply choose the vendor expense option when you’re ready to submit this expense. You can submit vendor expenses alongside your other expenses.  

This article will get you up and running with vendor expenses. You’ll learn how to enable the vendor expense user right and activate this feature in BigTime. 

NOTE: Your vendor list will be pulled directly from your QuickBooks or Sage Intacct account. If a vendor isn't appearing in your vendor list, it's because they haven't been added in either of those locations. You'll need to have either QuickBooks or Sage Intacct integration set up to use vendor expenses.
