Vendors (Inactive?) - Best Practices
I am looking to see what is the best practice for dealing with Vendors that are not used often. For instance, our company bought something from a vendor a year ago but hasn't bought anything since and are not currently planning on buying anything from them anytime soon. We don't want to delete these vendors from our system though.
At this point our accounting department is using the ‘inactive’ checkbox to flag records that are not currently in use so they do not show up on their active Vendor lists. After further discussion we realized that in the future, our ‘inactive’ records may possibly be purged from the system – however, these records need to stay in place.
