Change a Firm's Vendor Number
Use the Combine Firms utility to change a firm's vendor number.
This applies if the
firm's type is
Vendor.
Firm type is entered on the Summary pane in the
Firms hub. This utility changes the
vendor number for a
firm, not the
firm ID.
Warning: We strongly recommend that you back up your database before you run the Combine Firms utility because there is no way to undo the combining process.
To change a firm's vendor number:
- In the Navigation pane, Click .
- On the Combine Firms form, click the Change Number tab.
- On the Change Numbers tab, click +Add Firm below the grid.
- In the blank row in the grid, enter the firm whose vendor number you want to change and the new vendor number for it.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 if you want to specify other firms whose vendor number you want to change.
- Click the Change Number button. The firm's vendor number is changed in the Firms hub, and related fields and existing accounts payable transactions throughout DPS are updated.
