My company is wanting to set suppliers inactive and we know how to set the expiration date on the Purchase Tab > Misc Supplier Info sub-tab but the definition of the field says “The date after which details of the supplier are not to be retained. The expiration date only controls the creation of new transactions in the system for the supplier”. The first bit is what’s throwing us through a loop. Does this mean that IFS will purge the historical records of the supplier (e.g. purchase orders, invoices, etc.)?

Supplier Expiration Date

No, it doesn’t mean that, it is just poorly worded. We set them inactive on an annual basis. All history is retained, just new orders and requisitions are blocked. You should also set all of the Supplier for Purchase Parts inactive as well so they don’t create problems with any automated reqs and MRP.
