Remove a vendor from your system when they are no longer needed and have no associated transactions. Deleting vendors helps keep your records clean and organized.
How to Delete a Vendor
Step 1: Open the Vendors Page
From the left-hand navigation panel, click Vendors to view your vendor list.
Step 2: Select the Vendor
Choose the vendor you want to delete.
Step 3: Check for Linked Transactions
Before deletion, verify whether the vendor is linked to any transactions (e.g., invoices, estimates):
No linked transactions: The Delete option will be available.
Linked transactions: Deletion will not be allowed to protect your financial records.
π Note: Vendors linked to transactions cannot be deleted. In this case, consider deactivating the vendor instead.
Step 4: Delete the Vendor
If deletion is allowed:
Click the Delete button.
Click Proceed to finalize the deletion.
β Success! The vendor has been deleted from your system.
What to Do if the Vendor Cannot Be Deleted
If the vendor is linked to transactions, you cannot delete them without affecting your records.
Instead, deactivate the vendor:
Mark the vendor as Inactive
This keeps all historical data intact
Prevents future transactions while keeping your active vendor list organized
Important Reminder
Vendors with linked transactions cannot be deleted.
Deactivating ensures all data remains safe while keeping your vendor list clean and manageable.
Next Steps
After deleting or deactivating vendors, you can:
Maintain an organized vendor list
Manage active and inactive vendors efficiently
Ensure all transactions are associated with the correct vendors
