Need ability to set Buyers to Inactive so that they don't appear in the drop down lists associated with buyers. Maybe a check box in the Set Up Buyers screen that would allow the buyers no longer with the company to be surpressed in the drop down lists.

Comments

  • We put an X in front of their names, this at least drops it to the bottom of the drop down.

  • This type of processing was added in Sage 500 ERP in version 2019. Additionally, Reason Codes was also added.

    It doesn't work quite the way you describe, but is probably a little better. In general, inactive buyers (or reason codes) cannot be used to create new data, but can be used when reading data for historical purposes.

    These changes were done for lookups and dropdowns throughout the system.

    It is likely that one or more minor entity active status flags will be added in version 2021.
