Find the customer or supplier#
Open the customer or supplier detail and check the party's current active status and linked transactions.
Trace the party's open business#
- 1Open the customer or supplier list and search for the party.
- 2Open its detail to check whether it is active.
- 3Follow linked orders, invoices, bills, and payments on their own pages when investigating a balance.
- 4Read recent orders, bills, or activity before changing the contact's status.
- 5Reopen the contact and confirm the new status and any recorded reason.
An inactive contact may still have historical documents and outstanding balances.
Keep historical records intact#
Active/inactive status controls future selection where enforced; it does not erase posted history or settle open balances. The application does not promise one universal interaction timeline or account-statement export.
WARNING: Do not delete or reactivate a party to fix an invoice or bill. Correct the source financial document through its authorized workflow.
