  ## [Streamlined vendor management](/changelog/2023-04-17-streamlined-vendor-management)

  You can now manage vendors separately from contractors.

  ### Improvement

  When the entity you want to pay is a company (that is not a sole proprietorship), it usually makes sense to add them as a vendor.

  Vendors can be paid with one-time payments but not added to payroll and won’t have detailed HRIS tracking that is associated with employees or contractors.

  If the contractor you are paying is set up as a sole proprietorship, then you can choose how to invite them based on the features you want to use.

  * Add the person as a contractor if you want to use any of the following features: Set up contracts, track compensation history, offer benefits, add them to payroll, and/or view them in people reporting.
  * Add the person as a vendor if you don’t need any of the features above.
