Can someone please direct me to the instruction on how to delete a group of temporary vendors in Great Plains.  I have done this before but can not find my directions.

Thank You

Brenda

    Thank you for being so patient with me.  I have finally figured it out and was able to delete all of the temporary vendors.  This is what happens when I only do this every two years.  I have it all written down now so I shouldn't have any problems the next time I need to do this.  Have a great day!

    Brenda:

    To save you any further confusion allow me to list the sequence of steps:-

    1. Purchasing group from navigation pane
    2. Reports
    3. Setup/Lists
    4. The resulting window should bear the title Purchasing Setup Reports
    5. From the Reports drop down Vendor List
    6. Click New command button at the bottom
    7. Resulting window will bear the title Purchasing Setup report Options
    8. Cursor should blink at the option column. Feel free to type your personal report name.
    9. In the middle somewhere you should see Ranges drop down, pick Vendor Status
    10. To the right you should pick a vendor status of Temporary for both from and To
    11. Click on Insert and make sure you see your range getting added to the restrictions box.

    Best of luck

    So I went to do this report and it tells me to pick an option but under options I have nothing to pick from.  Any idea why that might be?

    Brenda:

    Yes there is a GP report that can be run to list all the temporary vendors in a given GP company.

    Purchasing>Reports>Setup/Lists> Pick vendor list from options.

    You can then filter the list by vendor status.

    Good luck

    Yes this does.  One more question for you though.  I ran a report to list the temporary vendors but it does not make the report I got with the Mass Vendor delete report.  Is there a report I can run in smartlist to double check the vendors that I will be deleting to make sure they are the correct one?
