Supplier Merge Audit trail in R11

Hello all,

Once the supplier merge program is run in 11i,  is there a way to identify that a certain supplier had been merged through the form itself? I'm aware of the Supplier Merge Audit Report but that doesn't serve the user's purpose. If i may elaborate a business case;

The suppliers 'XX' and 'XXX' have been merged leaving supplier 'XX' as the new merged supplier. A business need requires the user to query a payment that has been made some time ago supplier 'XXX'. However, now the user cannot find the supplier in the Invoice Workbench nor the Payments form and the user may not be aware of the merge exercise. Is there a way that user can identify that this supplier had been merged into 'XX' at the time of such querying?
