# Why can't I select a vendor on a bill?

The bill form lists active approved vendors and its search needs vendor viewing access.

Bill choices include active vendors marked approved. A newly created vendor can wait for approval when a vendor workflow applies. Wait for that review before selecting it. You also need *View vendors* for the search and *Create bills* for the new bill; quick adding a vendor needs *Create vendors*. Check the existing vendor before creating another copy. See [Add or edit a vendor](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/bills-and-vendors/add-or-edit-a-vendor) and [Enter a bill](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/bills-and-vendors/enter-a-bill).
