Deactivate and Reactivate a Supplier
Suppliers can be deactivated and reactivated. Deactivating a supplier prevents the supplier from being associated with new invoices. For example, the Supplier Manager might want to deactivate a supplier that is no longer in business, has merged with another supplier, or when issues arise with financial transactions. Deactivating a supplier does not delete the supplier from the system, and a deactivated supplier can be reactivated.
When a supplier is deactivated:
The supplier is marked with the word Inactive on the Manage Suppliers page
The deactivated supplier can no longer be selected when creating a new invoice using either the import or the user interface functions.
The supplier no longer appears when searching using the Approved Supplier option in the View menu.
All invoices currently associated with the deactivated supplier require a new or different supplier; the system will prompt the user to select a supplier.
The supplier can be re-activated.
To deactivate a supplier:
On the Manage Suppliers tab, select one or more suppliers.
Click Actions > Deactivate Supplier.
The supplier is marked Inactive, no longer appears in the list of approved suppliers and cannot be selected when creating new invoices.
To view deactivated suppliers: Click View > Inactive Suppliers.
To reactivate a supplier:
On the Manage Suppliers tab, click View > Inactive Suppliers.
Select the supplier you want to reactivate, and then click Actions > Activate Supplier.
