# Add a Vendor/Company

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Add a Vendor/Company**

*10. End Users: Vendors/Companies › Adding a Vendor/Company › Add a Vendor/Company*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

A new company or vendor record starts from + Add on the Vendors / Customers list, which — like Add Contract — opens on a mandatory type-selection step: "**Select a vendor / customer type to proceed**," since the vendor/customer type drives the fields, clauses, and workflow the new record uses. A **Recently Used** row (Vendor, Company, Supplier in this environment) offers quick shortcuts above the full type picker.
