    Hello Tony,

    Did you have any 'luck' so far with the deletion of your vendor?

    Hi Tony,

    There's no automatic code to resolve this issue. You have to find the entry connected to this Vendor in the system. According to the error message "Ledger and cannot be deleted." it is some posted transaction. I would record a trace on deleting the entry and there you find where system stops.

    Hi,

    did you check all financial dimension tables related? especially DimensionAttributeValueCombination and DimensionAttributeValueSetItem? if the vendor exists on these tables, remove it.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Do you still have some open journals, pending vendor invoices or purchase order records for this vendor created?

    Try deleting all of those 'pending' records and then try again to delete the vendor.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
