Overview
At some point vendors may need to be renumbered to be more consecutive. Part of the vendor name can be used as the vendor number and can make it easier for users to remember vendor numbers.
The Renumber Vendors screen allows renumbering of the vendors either numerically or using part of the vendor's name. Both methods put the vendors in alphabetical order according to the vendor name.
AP > Vendors > Renumber Vendors
One note of caution, if vendors are renumbered, make sure all users who enter vendor numbers are notified of the change. A report is available to print that shows the old vendor number and new vendor number. The report is printed as part of the renumbering process.
When using the Use Names button to renumber the vendors by name, all special characters are ignored and only characters A-Z and numbers 0-9 are used.
***Be absolutely sure you want to renumber your vendors, as it cannot be undone.***
