merge vendor records
Most libraries have multiple records for the same vendor. This is often the result of migrated records from a previous system, but can also occur because of changes in library workflows or even the acquisition of one company by another.
Currently, the only option is to choose one vendor record going forward and stop using the other vendor records. However, this creates extra work for libraries, such as changing the vendor on purchase order lines and including multiple vendors when running reports on historical expenditures. The ability to merge vendor records would solve these difficulties.
