Merge Vendors in NXT

John Blasi

Does anyone know how to Merge Vendors in NXT? Currently, I can only do this from the database from Accounts Payable => Administration screen

Eddie Barker

Hi @John Blasi, merge vendors is not available in Financial Edge NXT, and at this point, we do not plan to bring that over from database view. Thanks for asking!

@Eddie Barker
Will it remain available in the database view to be able to do this process after all things are moved to NXT or will this process be unavailable totally?

@Eddie Barker:

Please add this function to NXT. We have used it a lot in the database, as vendors acquire each other, change names, structure, etc. It's especially helpful when preparing 1099s to be able to merge 2 vendors under one Tax ID. Thanks.

Definitely go vote for this in the Idea Bank!

It only has 5 votes - and it's been in the Idea Bank for quite a while!

Hi LeeAnn,

It will be totally unavailable after database view is retired.

@Eddie Barker wow…the more I hear, the more terrified I am of database view going away. You are truly handicapping your customers. Who decided that leaving us without the ability to correct/clean-up data was a good idea?

@Eddie Barker
What is the rationale for not bringing this function in NXT? What is your thinking on this? That it will not be necessary in NXT?

@Mary Aquino Done! :-)
