# Adding a customer/party

> Add customers and suppliers as parties in BillBasket to bill against them, track a running ledger of dues and payments, and keep contact details handy.

Add a customer or supplier from **Parties → New Party** with a name, phone
number, and optional address and tax details. Once added, you can bill
against them, track credit, and view their full transaction history.
