When i am trying to inactive a vendor, this error messages is show.

"This vendor has been assigned to a purchase order or an unposted receipt. The status can't be changed to Inactive."

when i see from Purchase Order Processing Document Inquiry Window, there are two open po against that vendor, but when i open Edit Purchase Order Window that PO is closed, even from Purchase order entry window, status of that po is closed.

i go through the sql, and from table PM00200 , column VENDSTTS , i deactive from there temporary, but what is the proper method, to find out the reason, and how to solve. and if i did this from sql backend, is there any chance of error in fiscal year process.

RE: Error when trying to inactive a vendor

Once the purchase order is closed, you can move the purchase order to history in the Remove Completed Purchase Orders window:

Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP-->Tools-->Routines-->Purchasing-->Remove Completed Purchase Orders.

After doing these steps you can then inactive the Vendor by clicking Cards, then Purchasing and then select Vendor to change the status drop down from Active to Inactive.

Hope this helps!!!
