How can I make a vendor inactive so it cannot be used in tasks in Accounts Payable?

Note: The Inactive setting only prevents new invoices from being entered on that vendor. Inactive vendors can still be selected in Change Invoices, Record Manual/Print Quick Checks, Record Payments by Credit Card, Select Invoices to Pay, Print Checks, and Generate Electronic Payments. Open invoices can still be paid on inactive vendors. To prevent payments on open invoices for inactive vendors, you will need to pay or reverse the remaining open invoices for that vendor.

1. In Accounts Payable, from the Setup menu, select Vendors.
2. Select the vendor you want to make inactive.
3. Press ENTER or TAB twice.
4. On the General tab, in the bottom right corner, select the Inactive box.
5. Click Save.
6. Repeat for any additional vendors you want to make inactive.
7. Click Close when finished.

Note: This feature was introduced in version 12.1.
