Introduction

Before you can start using Dashbod to issue Invoices, Purchase Orders or Request for Quotation, you need to input the supplier’s or vendor’s data.

This article covers how you can do so in bulk.

Before you begin

You need to have access to your current depository of suppliers whether in another accounting system or in an excel sheet you currently maintain.

You need the following data ready: Vendor name and address.
