Vendor records include contact details, payment terms, and linked Purchase Orders, giving sales and procurement teams a single place to manage supplier relationships.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>What is the Vendors Module in Zoho CRM?<\/h2>\n<p>While most CRM modules focus on customers, the Vendors Module tracks the companies you buy from. Each Vendor record stores: Vendor Name, Primary Contact, Email, Phone, Payment Terms, and a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/purchase-orders-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Purchase Orders<\/a> linked to that vendor.<\/p>\n<p>The Vendors Module is most useful in product-based businesses where procurement is directly tied to sales fulfilment. A distributor, for example, needs to know which vendor can supply a product before committing to a customer delivery date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Electronics Distribution:<\/strong> An electronics distributor maintains 30 vendors in Zoho CRM. When a Sales Order is confirmed for a bulk display panel order, the purchasing team checks the vendor record for the panel manufacturer, verifies the lead time, and raises a Purchase Order directly from the vendor record in CRM.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/purchase-orders-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Purchase Orders Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/products-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Products Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/account-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Account<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/price-book-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Price Book<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Vendors Module in Zoho CRM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Vendors Module in Zoho CRM stores information about suppliers and third-party service providers.
