How do I archive/delete a supplier?

Required role: Contract Management Moderator. Read here how to check which roles you have.

If you want to permanently delete a vendor, you must first archive the vendor.

Archive a vendor

When you archive a vendor in the Vendors module, the vendor's contracts are not archived in the Contracts module, you have to do this separately. Archived vendors are not deleted, but are shown in Vendors > Vendors > Archive. All vendors data is preserved, but the vendor can no longer be used in other VendorLink modules such as Vendor Rating and the Supplier Portal.

1. Go to Vendors > Venors and click on the vendor you want to archive.
2. Go to the 'Details' tab.
3. Click on 'Edit'.
4. Click on 'Archive vendor'.
