Difference Between Inactive Date and Assignment Inactive Date on Vendor Bank Account

Summary:

When a vendor's bank account needs to be inactivated, there are two ways this can be accomplished:

1) Select the bank account on the vendor record and input an Inactive Date.

2) On the vendor's bank account row, input an inactive date in the Assignment Inactive On column.
