FAQ: How do I delete old vendors in the vendor file?
How do I delete old vendors in the vendor file?
- From the Accounts Payable screen, select the Maintenance menu, and then Vendors.
- At the Vendors screen, enter the ID of the vendor to delete in the Vendor ID field, or click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.
- Once the vendor to delete is displayed on the screen, click the Delete button; when prompted to delete the record, click Yes.
Note: If a vendor has been paid or was used with any data entry item in Accounts Payable, the system will not allow it to be deleted; however, a vendor that will no longer be used can be made inactive by removing the checkmark for the Active field within the Vendor File. If a vendor was defined only with an Entity Role of Vendor, it will be completely deleted from the system with the process noted above; however, if the vendor had multiple Entity Roles, the ID will remain valid for the other applicable areas and just the Entity Role of Vendor will be deleted.
