How to Delete a Vendor or Supplier

Updated over 2 months ago

Introduction

If you no longer work with a vendor or supplier, you can easily delete them from your Copilot account. Deleting a vendor helps keep your records clean and ensures your active list only includes current business partners.


Step 1: Open the Vendors & Suppliers Page

  1. From the left-hand menu, go to Team > Vendors / Suppliers.

  2. You’ll see a list of all your existing vendors and suppliers.


Step 2: Delete a Vendor or Supplier

  1. Locate the vendor or supplier you want to remove.

  2. On the right-hand side of the row, click the Trash Can icon (🗑️).

  3. Confirm that you’d like to permanently delete this vendor.


Important Notes

  • Deleting a vendor is permanent. Once deleted, the vendor and their associated details cannot be recovered.

  • This action does not affect any past transactions, documents, or records already tied to that vendor.

  • If you want to temporarily hide a vendor instead of deleting them, consider using Tags (e.g., “Inactive”) to organize your list instead.


Best Practice

Before deleting, double-check whether the vendor is referenced in past expenses, invoices, or job costing reports. If so, consider marking them as inactive in your naming convention (e.g., “Old Vendor – Inactive”) instead of removing them completely.
