Account Vs. Vendor

Account Vs. Vendor

Hello,

While I understand the concept of Accounts (companies we sell to) and Vendors (Companies sell to us), I'm not sure I understand the physical separation of the two in Zoho CRM.

It look much simpler to to add a toggle (mandatory) field to identify the account either as a Client or a Vendor. In addition, the accounts module offers more functionality over the Vendors module, for example the ability to nest accounts and sub-accounts which applies in most cases to vendors as well.

Seem to me it would be much more simplified way to manage the business entities.

I would greatly appreciate if someone can clarify this to me

Thanks
