In today's business environment the strong get stronger and the weak get swallowed up. Every time you turn around there is a vendor merger. We handle that in the AP module with the Consolidate Vendors screen.
This screen is as dangerous as it is simple:
In the first field choose the vendor that is being consumed
In the second box choose the vendor that will be left standing.
Press the Consolidate Vendor Icon
Note: Once the consolidate vendor icon is pressed there is no turning back, as this function cannot be undone. It is highly advisable that this screen only be available to those with the highest clearance, as a mistake here is very costly.
The consolidate vendors screen only touches the AP module it will not affect inventory in any way.
