How to make a vendor inactive

You cannot delete a vendor at this time, but you can make one permanently inactive.

Here's how to make a vendor inactive:

  1. Go to Get paid & pay or Expenses, then select Vendors (Take me there).
  2. Select Make inactive in the dropdown menu beside the vendor you want to make inactive.

Instead of making them inactive, it's better in some situations to merge accounts, customers, vendors instead.

Now you know how to make a vendor inactive.
