# Creating a New Vendor

In MakersHub, you have the ability to create new vendors and sync them directly with QuickBooks. This can be done while reviewing the bill/receipt for a new vendor or under the **Vendor List** tab.

## Create a New Vendor While Reviewing a Bill

When a bill is uploaded into MakersHub, the system runs a language model to find a matching vendor in your QuickBooks. Should the vendor not exist in your QuickBooks, you can create the vendor in MakersHub.

Consider the following bill from a new vendor, Generic Company. You can see that MakersHub was not able to identify a matching vendor. To create a new vendor in QuickBooks, select **Add a new Vendor.**

A window will appear to create Generic Company as a vendor. The fields within this window will be populated based on the information MakersHub extracts from the bill. You may edit these fields before you create the vendor in QuickBooks:

- Vendor Name - Corresponds with Vendor Display Name in QuickBooks.
- Legal Business Name - Corresponds with the Company Name and Name to print on checks field in QuickBooks.
- Business Address - This is the business address and the default address that is shown on checks, but can be changed when assigning a payment method.
- Contact Information - Contacts that will receive the payment details request and remittance details. Select the **Add** button to add multiple contacts.
- 1099 Contractor - Check this box if the vendor is a contractor. This will then populate the vendor under the Contractors tab in QuickBooks.
- Website - URL of the business will populate under your vendor information in QuickBooks.
- Tags - Corresponds to the QuickBooks tags you can create for each vendor.

Once done, select **Add a New Vendor** at the bottom.

A new section will appear in the top right corner titled **QuickBooks Online Connection** with a **Post successful** status.

Now you may close the window. When you return to the bill, you will see a green check mark beside the vendor name, indicating a matching vendor was identified. You may proceed to review and approve the bill.
