The main purpose is the identification of the type of the vendor (that's why the field is called Type). And then you can provide extra details specific to each type.

Yes, It is because Vendor may be any Single person of an Organization.

If your Vendor is a Person, You should enter below required details.

A vendor may be a physical person or an organization (typically a company). They have different properties, for example, persons have the date of birth but not the number of employees.
