Is it possible to mark a vendor for deletion in a specific co code/purch.org combination only?

For example;

When we mark a vendor for deletion in, say, co.code 1000/purch.org S300, it stops us raising purchase orders on that vendor in purch.org S300 but for ALL cos not just co1000 and it stops us posting invoices on that vendor in co1000 but for purchase orders raised in ALL purch.orgs not just those in S300? So we can end up having purchase orders raised and receipted in co1000/purch.org S700 but we cannot post the invoice.

As a result, we've had to advise users only to mark vendors for deletion, if they can be flagged for ALL AREAS ie.all cos and all purch.orgs, which would seem to defeat the purpose of being able to enter a specific co.code/purch.org combination or have we just set this functionality up incorrectly?

Trudi,

When you tag a Vendor for deletion in company code, then Invoices for that Vendor for that company code are normally blocked.  It does not matter about the status of the purchasing orgs.

You normally tag Vendors for deletion in a company code when that company has stopped using the Vendor entirely.  You really should not tag for deletion, until all associated purchasing and related transactional documents have been settled, and the Vendor is now ready for archiving (removal of all records from the active database).
