Deactivating Vendors and Labs

This page describes how to deactivate a vendor or lab so that it's no longer available to select on new prescriptions and orders. You can only inactivate a vendor if they are not associated with any of the following:

  • Lab orders/prescriptions
  • Purchase orders
  • Fee slips
  • Inventory transactions

The steps on this page describe deactivating a vendor rather than deleting a vendor. You should only delete vendors if they are not linked to any exams.

Here's how to deactivate a vendor or lab:

  1. On the OfficeMate Administration main window, click Setup, and select Vendor Maintenance.

    The Vendor Maintenance window opens.

  2. Click the Vendor Name drop-down menu and select a vendor.
  3. Clear all of the Products/Service Provided checkboxes.
  4. Click the Inactive checkbox.
  5. Click OK.
