## Create a new vendor or manufacturer

You can create a new vendor, which is a company that sells assets or services that your organization purchases. You can also create a new manufacturer, which is a company that builds assets that your organization purchases.

### Before you begin

Role required: user\_admin and asset

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to one of the following:

    -   **Organization** > **Vendors**
    -   **Organization** > **Manufacturers**
    -   **Organization** > **Companies**
2.  Click **New** and create a new record.

3.  Complete the form and select either **Manufacturer** or **Vendor**.

    **Note:** A company can be considered both a vendor and a manufacturer.

4.  Click **Submit**.


## Locations module

The Locations module is the Asset view of the Location table \[cmn\_location\].

In addition to the physical specifics for the location, the Asset view includes the **Stock room** designation and a list of configuration items \(CI\) in stock at that location.
