Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2025 - Payables Setup Vendor Class Roll Down
Views (3)
Expanding on a key enhancement in Dynamics GP 18.7: Default Vendor Class Roll Down Now Defaults to "No".
In Dynamics GP 18.8 the system was enhanced around the area of the Vendor Class ID message setup.
Previously, when you updated a Vendor Class in Setup → Purchasing → Vendor Class, the system would ask if you wanted to roll down those changes to all vendors assigned to that class.
The default was Yes, which often led to unintended updates across multiple vendor records—especially in environments with large vendor lists.
Now, the prompt defaults to No, giving users more control and reducing the risk of accidental mass updates.
Why Is This Important?
Prevents Unintended Changes: Rolling down changes can overwrite vendor-specific settings. Defaulting to No ensures you consciously choose to apply changes.
Improves Data Integrity: Vendor records often have unique configurations. This enhancement helps maintain those nuances.
Enhances User Experience: The message box is clearer, and the default choice aligns with the safest option—protecting your data from unnecessary updates.

Best Practice Tip
If you truly need to roll down changes, you can still select Yes in the prompt. But always review the impact before confirming.
