# Vendor Group

Vendor groups help organize vendors in Restaurant365 and make it easier to focus on relevant invoices during a [Payment run](/doc/docs/payment-run-overview). Assigning vendors to a group lets users filter payment run transactions and narrow accounts payable reports by vendor group.

Vendor groups are optional and can be created directly from the [vendor form](/doc/docs/vendor-form). Because a vendor group cannot be edited or deleted after it is created, confirm the name before saving.
