gptip42day - Deleting a Vendor with History

Frank Hamelly | MVP, MCP, CSA Profile Picture Frank Hamelly | MVP... 46,532 Super User 2025 Season 1

Generally, GP doesn't allow deleting a vendor if there are any history transactions for that vendor.  In most cases, this is a good thing because who wants stranded history transactions in their database?  However, if you have a really compelling reason to delete a vendor and don't want to delete the vendor history, here's how to do it - make the vendor a Temporary vendor.

GP allows you to delete a Temporary vendor even if history records exist for that vendor.  The only requirements are -

- The current vendor balance must be zero
- The 1099 amount for the current year must be zero
- There can be no unposted transactions for the vendor
- There can be no open purchase orders for the vendor
