Supplier Block

You can block a supplier for order registration, registration of supplier invoice and reporting. Blocks are configured in the Info tab in the Update Supplier procedure in the Purchase module.

That a supplier is blocked for registration and reporting can be understood from the supplier code being displayed in red bold font in the Update Supplier and Supplier Info procedures.

In the table below it is described from which actions you can block a supplier and which procedures a block will effect.

A supplier block does not affect supplier invoices. It is possible to register supplier invoices for a blocked supplier and you can block supplier invoices for making payments, but a supplier invoice block is done in the Register Supplier Invoice.
