We Archived vendor data.  One of the records was archived that Purchasing does not want archived.  Purchasing told me for this specific vendor code:
 
"We had the vendor code entered just to use as a "ship to" address when we entered Sources PO's.  There is no activity because we never use it as an actual vendor for PO receivings, payments, etc.  Where the PO form asks if we want to use a customer or a vendor file for shipping, we can either fill in C and use a customer record or V and use a vendor record."
 
So they want me to figure out how not to archive this one record, if possible.  Is there anything I can do to prevent it from being archived, or will is just get archived and I have to remember to keep restoring it?
 
Thanks,

Hi Lynn,
 
Ok so gave your reply to purchasing, and they replied back:
 
I don't even have access to IN-L-B actually.  And I thought Location referred to an inventory location (like you transfer or receive stock to where it's actually located, for example a contract manufacturer).  There's a separate field where you enter a location (or leave it blank for default ILT location).  When you enter the PO, the ship to has a box where you have to put C (for customer record) or V (for vendor record).  
 
So they are not clear on this...does this mean they don't enter anything in the ship to? Unless they are shipping to a contract manufacturer, for example?
