Inactivating manufacturers

Use this procedure to inactivate manufacturers that are no longer in use. This does not delete the manufacturer, so administrators can still maintain a record of a manufacturer's activities.

To inactivate manufacturers

  1. Select Manufacturer Management in the Administration menu.
  2. Select Manufacturers > Inactivate from the Manufacturers menu on the Manufacturer Management page. The Select Manufacturer to Inactivate page is displayed.
    Note: 

    You can only inactivate manufacturers you added in Surgical Instrument Management. To inactivate manufacturers that were added in the Procurement System, contact the Procurement department.

  3. Specify this information:
    Item Group

    Select the item group for the manufacturer that you want to inactivate.

    Manufacturer Name

    Select the name of the manufacturer that you want to inactivate.

  4. Click Select. The Modify Manufacturer page is displayed.
  5. Click Inactivate. The Modify Manufacturer page is displayed.
  6. Click OK.
