Creditors > Creating a Creditor

Creditors are created and managed in the finance & administration module and are usually managed by designated role(s) or person(s) within each agency or office.

Creditors are the entities that send you invoices and are unique records within a WorkBook company; they cannot be shared across companies. In WorkBook they differ from suppliers/vendors, which are global records, used for purchase orders only.
