Inactive vendor record removal

The SA Administration Inactive Vendor Removal Report removes all inactive vendor records due to lack of use or because a new set of data is available for the new year. Run this report annually.

Only vendors with a vendor class greater than zero qualify for the report. You must run the Vendor Administrator Vendor Classification Report to classify the vendors before you remove inactive vendors. All vendors who are currently inactive, class 13, or have not had any activity since the date you specify are included in the report.

These records, and their associated notes and comments, are removed for the vendors that qualify within the parameters that you specify in these function:

  • Vendor Setup
  • Vendor Ship From Setup
  • Vendor Purchase History Setup
  • Vendor Maintain Balance Entry
  • Product Line Setup

An exception report is generated at the end of the process. This report details each master record that was not deleted and includes a summary page showing the total number of records removed from each data set.
