# 11 Passive cycle: vendors and purchase orders # 11 Passive cycle: vendors and purchase orders vtenext allows you to manage the passive cycle through the modules: - [Vendors](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/books/user-manual-vtenext-2110/page/111-vendors) - [Purchase Orders](https://usermanual.vtenext.com/books/user-manual-vtenext-2110/page/112-purchase-orders) # 11.1 Vendors In the same way as the Accounts registries, you can enter the vendor data sheets here that contain general contact information: name, email, telephone, site, accounting code, category, etc. Again in this case, the Layout Editor permits the administrator user to customise the data fields.

The rationale of the Purchase Order is the same as that of the Sales Order that has already been covered, with fewer options. This document can also be exported in PDF or other formats using the PDF Maker tool.
