Disabling duplicate Bank and Bank Branches

Content

We have duplication of bank and bank branches and trying to understand the best practice to disable the duplicates and have only one bank show in expense/supplier LOV.

e.g. We have banks as ABC, ABC LTD, ABC Bank, ABC Bank LTD

ABC have 1 branch, ABC LTD have 4 branches, ABC Bank have 12 branches.

We have manually added all these 17 branches under ABC Bank LTD.

Requested users to update in expense workarea , their bank to ABC Bank LTD.

Now, How to Disable these 3 banks and their branches, so that they donot show for selection?

NOTE - Inactivate Bank and Bank branches ESS process is not end dating these banks or bank branches. Anyway End date also not shown in application. The ESS process also donot tell which banks or bank braches were disabled.
