Vendor Menu - Vendor File Delete/Reset

The Vendor File Delete/Reset function allows you to remove a vendor from the file or, if removed in error, reset the vendor.

Delete           

Enter 'D' to flag the vendor as deleted. Note: This is not a physical delete of the vendor record, but merely a flagging that the vendor should not be used for data entry or other purposes. The vendor may still be inquired upon, and the name and address information is still available and appears on the various reports in the system if requested.

CAncel          

Enter 'CA' to cancel this deletion and prompt for another Vendor. <CTRL>Z will also clear the screen and prompt for another vendor.

Reset            

Enter 'R' to reset/restore a previously deleted vendor. The vendor is returned to active status and allows use in data entry and other operations that were restricted when it was on delete status.

Prev             

Enter 'P' or use <PREV_SCREEN> to move to the previous screen.

Next             

Enter 'N' or use the <NEXT_SCREEN> to move to the next screen.

You can physically delete a vendor record. This should be done with care. The system will not allow you to hard delete an active vendor (i.e.., any history in the invoice file, or PO file, or cheque file). Enter 'H' to hard delete a vendor record from the file. If you accidentally hard delete a vendor that you did not wish to physically remove from the file, you can restore the vendor using the Vendor Additions module. You will, however, must run a Vendor Statistics rebuild to fix up the Vendor statistics.
