Expiring a vendor

If you want to deactivate a vendor record without deleting its history, such as for a vendor that your agency no longer purchases from, you can expire the vendor. The vendor's information remains on file for you to access, but the vendor can no longer be used in Infor Operations and Regulations. You cannot create any new records in Infor Operations and Regulations that reference an expired record. You can also expire a vendor record by adding an expire date to the record using the Vendor InfoViewer.

Note: When you expire a record, Infor Operations and Regulations enters the current date as the expiration date. Records expire at midnight on the expiration date, so the record will still be active in the system until the next day.
  1. Select Resources > Manufacturer and Vendor > Lookup Vendors.
  2. Look up the vendor that you want to expire.
  3. Select the correct vendor in the grid.
    You can select more than one vendor to expire.
  4. Click Action and select Expire Vendor.
  5. Specify the expiration date for the vendor in the Expired field.
  6. Click OK.
    Infor Operations and Regulations assigns an expiration date to the vendor. After the vendor record expires, the record remains in your system but is no longer available for use in Infor Operations and Regulations. To reinstate an expired vendor, remove the expiration date or extend it past the current date using the Vendor InfoViewer.
