Making the supplier inactive means that the supplier remains visible in the supplier management module, but can no longer be selected for a contract. Inactive suppliers are shown 'crossed out' in the 'Favorites' and 'Suppliers' tab. After opening an inactive supplier, the message 'This company has been made inactive and is only shown from a historical perspective' appears on the screen.

Open the 'Profile' menu within a supplier.
Click 'Make inactive' at the top right.
Click 'Accept'.
To make the company active again, click on 'Make active' at the top right and then 'Accept'.
