**Suppliers/vendors and creditors** are usually managed by a system administrator, designated role(s) or person(s) within your agency. 

Suppliers/vendors are global records, meaning that an individual supplier/vendor could potentially be used by anyone in your WorkBook database. Creditors are the entities that send you invoices and are unique records within a WorkBook company; they cannot be shared across companies. 

Suppliers/vendors are used for POs only, therefore if a creditor is not PO related (i.e. Employee creditors) then there is no need to also create a supplier record.
