Change a purchase contact/creditor number

You can change the code of a purchase contact/creditor if you use separate creditor numbers in addition to numbers for organisations and persons.

If you have specified in the environment properties that the numbering of the purchase contacts must be the same as the numbering of the organisation/person, you cannot change the creditor number. You can then use the 'Synchronise creditor number with organisation/person' action to synchronise the numbering of purchase contacts with that of the linked organisation/person.

To change a purchase contact/creditor code:

1. Select the purchase contact.
2. Click on the action: Change creditor number.
3. Enter the new code for the purchase contact in New code. This code must not already exist.
4. Click on: Finish.
