Merging Vendors Error: Multiple Vendors per company for a party are not allowed.

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,  through online documentation I've navigated to the Global Address Book and located two vendors I would like to merge.  Once I select my party to retain I get the following error: Multiple Vendors per company for a party are not allowed.

I searched the forums and google for the error string and haven't found any solutions.

Thanks.

    Hi Phycodes,

    The merge is only working when you merge parties having a role as vendor in separate companies or when you want to merge a party with a different role in the same legal entity.

    In your scenario you have probably created the vendor twice in the same company. The merge is not working then.

    You can have a look at the next thread on this community how to merge the master date. The example tells you about customers, but can be also used for vendors. After that you might be able to merge the GAB record as well.

    Thanks for the quick reply Andre.

    Yes the same vendor was created twice for the same company.  So would I then change the code from CustTable to VendTable (or what it is, I guess I'll need to do research).

    Where exactly do I run this script?

    Also I did read the warning - we have a test environment where I can run this to be safe.

    Thanks.

    Hi Phycodes,

    Yes, you can change CustTable to VendTable. This is the table used for Vendors. Note you have to change it for all occasions. Also it would be recommended to change the cust1 and cust2 variable names into vend1 and vend2.

    In the AOT, you can go to the Jobs node. Then right click this node and create a new job. You can copy and paste the code which is available in the other thread and change the table name and Vendor account numbers. Then you can save the job (CTRL+S), compile the job (F7) and run it (F5).

    Andre,

    I have the same issue. There are duplicate contacts created for the same customer. When trying to Merge the Party records I get this error. We don't need to Merge Contacts of different Customers at all. Could you let me know if I need to use this script? Wish that I'm missing something as it is only logical to Merge out the duplicates.

    Also, what happens to the Merged records? Are they marked Inactive or delete?

    Thanks!
