Vendor Move

The Vendor Move program provides the facility to move/merge a vendor with another new or existing vendor number. The program will move all the history to the new vendor number as well as contact information which is not present for the new or existing vendor and will hard delete the original vendor number so it can be used again. This move program is very useful to merge duplicate vendors that are on file.

Note 1: Vendor moves should not be done while APR's are in progress. This could create problems with EFT notifications. (Old vendor had EFT payment, new vendor does not.)

Note 2: It is highly recommended to do Vendor Move when no user is in the system in Finance. As it can be locked by other users having that vendor open or a user in the invoice for that vendor. It just causing them to get stuck in the que if they are being blocked by another user or yourself.

From Vendor Number

Enter the vendor number of the vendor to be moved. Use Lookup for valid vendor numbers. Note: Miscellaneous vendor numbers cannot be used in either the From or to vendor number fields.

To Vendor Number

Enter the new vendor number for the information to be moved to. This vendor number must exist in the system and can have activity against it.

Exit	Enter 'E' to exit this program.
Modify	Enter 'M' to modify the from or to vendor number fields.
Continue	Enter 'C' to continue with the move. The program will move all vendor history plus contact information which is not present to the new vendor number. The Vendor Statistics will be updated, and an entry will be made to the Vendor Audit Trail. If the move encounters a duplicate invoice number, the invoice being moved will have a suffix of '0M' making it unique. The program will create a .LOG file which details all the files that have been updated. It is important that the .LOG file is checked for any errors that may have occurred.
