Deleting Parts, Customers, or Vendors? Microsoft Dynamics GP

Unless you take care to purge all of the sales and purchasing history for inventory items, customers, and vendors, reusing an ID will cause the new item, customer, or vendor to pick up the history of the original item.  Imagine a new customer's surprise when your AR clerk calls them and discusses all of their old bad credit history!

Be safe. Always use new IDs for new customers, new vendors, and new inventory items!
