Sometimes, an incorrect Vendor record might be created in NetSuite, and it becomes necessary to mark this record as inactive. Attempting to mark the Inactive checkbox directly on the Vendor record and saving it can sometimes result in the error message: “Represents Subsidiary must be different to Subsidiary.” To successfully inactivate the incorrect Vendor record, follow the steps outlined below:
Steps to Inactivate a Vendor Record:
- Go to Lists > Relationships > Vendors.
- Mark the Show Inactives checkbox to display both active and inactive vendor records.
- Locate the Inline Edit option, which is situated next to the Show Inactives checkbox, and enable it.
- Find the vendor record that needs to be inactivated.
- Change the value in the Inactive column from No to Yes by clicking on it and selecting Yes.
By following these steps, you can inactivate the incorrect Vendor record without encountering the “Represents Subsidiary must be different to Subsidiary” error. This process allows you to handle the vendor record efficiently using the Inline Edit feature.
Notes:
- Inline Edit is a powerful feature that allows you to make quick changes to records directly within the list view without having to open each record individually.
- Show Inactives checkbox helps in displaying all records, ensuring that you do not overlook any inactive vendors.
