Re: Inactivating a vendor master

Hi Dennis.

I am guessing that you have covered some of these other items also, but I 
will list them in case.

1.  Are there vendor invoices remaining to be paid?  The invoices on the 
system would need to be paid and purged.  That is dependent on the number of 
days 
parameter.

2.  Are there any vendors that you need to create 1099s for in the last year? 
 That paid amount value is stored on the vendor master (AVM) and you would 
need to make sure the 1099 reporting is completed before deleting.

3.  Are you doing any tax reporting with BPCS?  The ATX file stores these 
values as well.  If your tax years are not closed, you may want to consult with 
your controller to determine if you are going to be able to remove the vendor 
masters with which 

4.  As for other files, as long as you are running the month end programs and 
you have the number of days field populated, you should be in good shape to 
delete the remaining vendor masters.

I may have missed something, but I think as long as you are not deleting any 
vendor masters that you have activity within the "number of days to keep" 
parameters, you should be fine to delete the remaining vendor masters.

You can contact me offline if you would like to discuss this further.

Have a great day.
