You can set supplier records that you no longer want to use or have become redundant for a variety of reason. When you set them to be inactive, you will no longer be able to use them on transactions and will be excluded from drop-down lists and reports.
You can only set a supplier to be inactive when:
There are no batched transactions for the supplier.
The above includes:
Purchase order transactions when their address is used as the delivery account.
The supplier is not set as a supplier in the purchase prices for a stock record.
The supplier is set up as a CIS supplier or has a partnership with active partner records.
The supplier record is linked to a customer record.
