Combining Vendors

You can combine vendors in your Vendor list. You may want to do this if you have added a vendor multiple times with different names or if a vendor has merged with another vendor. By combining vendors, you consolidate all transactional data from one vendor into the transaction for another vendor.

Note:  When you combine vendors, the first (“FROM”) vendor is permanently deleted. The entire vendor record with all detail information of the “FROM” vendor is transferred to the second (“TO”) vendor.

To combine vendors:

1. Choose Payables > Manage Vendors, or click the Manage Vendors icon in the Payables section of the workspace.
2. In the Vendors dialog box, click a vendor in the list and then choose Combine vendors from the shortcut menu.  
   This is the “FROM” vendor.
3. In the Select Vendor To Combine With dialog box, select a vendor.  
   This is the “TO” vendor.
4. Click OK.
