{% hint style="success" %}
Fill the fields with your provider's information. Make sure all the obligated fields on all tabs are completed.
{% endhint %}

Click on the Save Button to Save the vendor.

## Deleting a Vendor

Because Vendor information could be tied to past purchases and information, we do not allow the deletion of Vendor.

You can change the Status of a Vendor from Active to In-Active which removes it from select options in different parts of the site:

Select the **Provider Information tab,** in the **Status** field please choose the **In-Active** option and click Save to deactivate the Vendor

When searching on the Manage Vendor page, the in-activated vendors will be highlighted in grey.
