PSTL Vendor Combiner

Is PSTL the best tool to use to combine vendors? When you run the "Vendor Combiner" tool you enter the "Starting Vendor ID" and the "Combine into Vendor ID" but the "Combine into Vendor ID" is what is kept right?

Also the history in the "Starting Vendor ID" will be added to the ID in "Combine into Vendor ID" right?

Thanks for your responds.

    Hi Cynthia,

    I know your post was from almost a year ago, however I was wondering if you had any issues when trying to combine In-active Vendors.

    All the comments refer to Combing an existing Vendor ID.  None of the process reference the Active / Inactive status.  I have found that PSTL will not combine Inactive vendors.

    I was able to import successfully, I was too caught up in this and I thought I was getting the error report because  something was wrong even though it did not have an error in the report. Thank you all for your help,very much appreciated.

    Do you mean if the error report that generates  during the validation have nothing in the error description then I should be able to import and enough the report though it generates ?

    I mean the validation step is where the error generates but the error report I receive does not have any error description in it

    If hitting validate gives no error then you should then be able to import.

    Then it saves it as a text file

    I am doing as you gentlemen are suggesting. The source is excel 2010 and am saving it as tab delimited. The error report after the validation gives me nothing to work with no error description.

    The extension doesn't really matter, but the content of the file should b tab delimited.

    Cynthia, save your source file as a tab-delimited (.txt) file from within Excel, just to be sure you're getting it in the right format.
