Creation of duplicate vendor records could happen for various reasons. The ability to merge would help keep records clean and reduce the amount of sensitive information that is stored (e.g., tax ID numbers, SSNs, bank routing and account numbers, etc.)
I started reviewing our vendor records with implementing Pymt Assistant in mind. I was finding several places where we needed to do some clean up, only then to find out there was no way to merge these anymore! Considering the number of people that have commented on this issue, I really hope that BB will be responsive to this and other requests to bring back this function. If they can't get it programmed right away, at least bring it back in the database for now.
Merge this with Idea #2923
please, i currently have a list going of vendors that need to be merged, will this be coming back for us?
Absolutely an epic fail on the part of BB....how do you take away a basic accounting function with no consideration for the consequences?? They really need an accountant involved in the development phase before ridiculously dumb decisions like this are finalized!!
