Set up and view one-time use suppliers

When you create or select a supplier that you’ll use only once or rarely, you can flag that supplier so they do not appear on the supplier list unless you filter for them.

You can always edit a one-time supplier and remove the flag so that the supplier displays on the supplier list the same as any other supplier.

One-time use suppliers are included in subledger reports such as the AP aging report and 1099 report when you set the report filters to include them. These suppliers are not included in Financial reports or General Ledger standard reports.

Not sure if you should set a supplier to One-time use or change the status to Inactive?

Comparison of one-time use vendors to inactive vendors
	One-time use supplier	Inactive supplier
Purpose	Simplify your view of the Suppliers list to show only frequently used suppliers by default.	Make a supplier record unavailable for further transactions and payments.
Availability in Supplier lists and dropdowns	Available to select as a supplier.	Not available to select as a supplier. As a result, you cannot do the following: Create new transactions for the supplier. Edit an existing transaction and change to this supplier. Make payments to the supplier, because a payment request cannot be created for an inactive supplier. Past transactions remain tied to the supplier record.
Supplier list display	Records designated as One-time use do not appear in the list by default. To view these records, select Filters at the top of the list and select Remove next to the One-time use filter to remove it. Does not appear in the Suppliers list by default. When using a standard view, select Include one-time use to see these suppliers.	Records designated as Inactive do not appear in the list by default. To view these records, select Filters at the top of the list and select Remove next to the Status filter to remove it. Does not appear by default. When using a standard view, select View inactive to see these suppliers.
Restrictions	None.	All outstanding payments to the supplier must be completed before you can deactivate the supplier. Because you cannot pay existing AP supplier invoices after deactivation, resolve the AP supplier invoices accordingly before you deactivate.

Transactions for one-time use and inactive vendors are included in 1099 reports.
