Make a Vendor Inactive

Overview | Find a Vendor Record | Edit a Vendor Record

Basic

Vendors in Point of Sale can be flagged as inactive. An inactive vendor:

- Is not displayed when you filter your vendor list for active vendors (default view)

- Is removed from most Vendor selection lists and filters

- Is not exchanged with QuickBooks Desktop financial software (see note below)

This allows you to flag utilities vendors (which may have been imported from your QuickBooks Desktop financial software) or any vendor not currently used in Point of Sale as inactive, so they do not display on your active vendor list.

To make a vendor inactive:

1. Select the Inactive check box on the vendor record.

2. Select Save.

Notes:

- To view your inactive vendors, use the All Vendors filter or define a custom filter to display only inactive vendors.

- To reactivate the vendor, clear the Inactive check box.

- If you flag a new vendor as Inactive, that vendor will not be shared with QuickBooks Desktop financial software. However, if you later receive items from the inactive vendor on a voucher, the vendor will be created in QuickBooks Desktop when the voucher is sent to your financial software.
