Completely Deactivating a Vendor

I have a vendor we are no longer working with; I have set the Status of the Third Party to Closed but they still show up on various lists (i.e. Creating a new Vendor Invoice, the vendor appears in the dropdown list). I can’t delete the vendor as there are payments associated to the third party, but I do not want this vendor to show up on any list throughout the ERP.

My next step is to mark this Third Party’s Vendor status as No but I do not fully understand the implications of this step.

Any recommendations? I would have thought by Closing the third-party they would no longer appear on list options.

I’m using Dolibarr 17.0.0-alpha on Docker.

It seems I do not yet have the ability to edit/rename a post.

I think a better way to describe this questions is as follows:

Can Third Parties be inactivated so that they are not returned in various tables, reports, and select options throughout Dolibarr? The third party can’t be deleted as they are tied to other objects, but being able to see only active Third Parties would be beneficial.
