Merge duplicate suppliers

One supplier, one record. When a vendor's history is scattered across several records, the assistant consolidates onto the record that should survive, re-points what can move, archives the rest with a visible trace, and reports what could not follow - so totals, terms and negotiations run off one truth.

How it works

  1. Finds the duplicate records from a shared bank account, a matching tax ID or an identical name, ranks them by the spend at stake, and proposes which one survives, with the evidence.
  2. Merges each confirmed group into the record that survives; Payhawk moves the expenses and requests itself, and only paid or exported expenses and closed requests stay behind.
  3. Reports what the merge leaves behind; each archived record shows which supplier it was merged into.
