Vendors that do not have Unit Level Vendor Account Holder will not be available in the list for selection and the Vendor Account Holder will need to be added at the Vendor Detail > AP Vendors tab.

Vendor Name - as you begin to type the Vendor's name, the list will dynamically narrow down to all Vendors that start with the characters you have typed in.
Community - select the Community to see all Vendors with Unit Level Vendor Account Holders for the entity you have selected.
If the vendor in the list is authorized for several communities, you will see “<multiple>” in the Community/Mgmt Co column of the list.
