Changing Payables vendor name without impacting historical vendor data

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,
When a vendor does a name change (either through a company sale/takeover or other company name changes), what is the best way to handle this in the payables module in GP2010? When I got to change the name in the vendor card, all historical data for that vendor is also changed (ie. previously issued cheques will display the new vendor name instead of the old vendor name). Is it better to just create a new vendor due to the name change? Or is there some way to change the vendor name in the existing vendor to only impact future documents without touching historical data?

Thanks!

Calvin
