Overview
Duplicate instances of the same vendor may lead to confusion and cause errors, often resulting in selecting the wrong vendor information on a Purchase Order or Dropship request. Merging duplicate entries ensures that your records are consolidated and up-to-date.
Merge Vendors
If you have duplicate vendors, you can easily merge them. To do that:
- Go to Purchasing > Vendors > Manage Vendors.
- Find and select the vendors to merge.
- Click the Actions icon > Merge Vendors.
- Select a Merge To Vendor and click Continue.
- A warning message appears. Click Yes to continue.
This action is not reversible. It will delete vendors permanently from the system and update all their existing records (Products, POs, and more) with the Merge To Vendor.
