Change or Merge Vendor Numbers
You might find you need to change a vendor number or merge vendor records, for example, if you entered incorrect information or you have a duplicate vendor. You can use the Renumber Vendor option to update vendor numbers. If you stored data for a vendor under the old and new names, all information is merged into the new vendor record so you can retain all your data.
You can only merge vendors with identical AP Codes. See Posting Transactions to General Ledger (AP Codes) for more information on these codes.
When you renumber vendors, the system merges any attached files into the new record and does not overwrite them, so you might have duplicate attachments.
To renumber vendors:
1 In Accounts Payable, select Vendor Accounts > Renumber / Merge Accounts from the left navigation pane. The AP Renumber Vendors window will open.

2 Enter the old and new vendor numbers in the boxes.
3 Select OK to renumber the vendor.
All transactions with the old number will change to reflect the new number.
