KB24

### Overview

Sometimes it may be necessary to recover a deleted supplier record. If there have been transactions recorded against the supplier then it is possible to recover the deleted supplier record. However, if the supplier was deleted prior to any transactions, the supplier record will not be available to recover.

### Process

1. Open your suppliers form (Accounts payable > Suppliers)
2. Click the special menu on the top right of the Suppliers form
3. Click Allow Display of Deleted Records
4. Search for the supplier you want to recover and click Fetch
5. Click Edit and then Update

The supplier has now been recovered.

### Additional Notes

When a supplier is deleted, an underscore _ is added to the end of the Supplier code. This is to allow reuse of the original Supplier codeSupplier code. If the original supplier code has not been reused, you can remove the underscore from the supplier code by editing the supplier.
