When you stop working with a supplier you can either deactivate them (recommended) or delete them entirely.
Deactivate a supplier
Deactivating keeps the supplier and their purchase order history but hides them from new purchase orders.
- Open the supplier and click Edit.
- Under Status, untick Active.
- Save your changes.
Delete a supplier
- Open the supplier.
- In the Danger Zone, click Delete Supplier.
Warning: A supplier that has any purchase orders cannot be deleted. The system will ask you to deactivate them instead, which preserves your records.
