The supplier is not purged from the system unless you specifically request that they be archived in a supplier archive request. Only a select number of suppliers will be given this Persistence.

I have an error message when I am in process adding new 1099 witholding supplier in location tab -how to fix this error: Cannot change current or history records unless in Correction mode. (15,1)

You have attempted to change a record that is effective dated, and the record contains an effective date that makes it either the current record or a historical record. Either use the Add (+) button to create a new record with a future effective date, or change your mode to Correction.

Karen Ebert

Hi Snezana,
That is a great question. In order to use the correct history mode and update the 1099 withholding information, you will need to have the security role of "ZC Supplier Entry" and will add this info to this QRG. Please reach out to your local IT or Supervisor to request access. Hope that helps.
Thanks again,
Karen Ebert
