SLP / Deactivating a Supplier Organization

[YRocha-Zempel]

Hi Team,

Does anyone know what the difference is between deactivating a supplier via Administration / Supplier and Customer Manager/ Search for supplier and select the Deactivate button

vs

SM Administration/ Data Import and Export/Suppliers

In an integrated environment, deactivating via Admin kicks off integration and deletes the vendor in S4.

There is a support note KB0402125 which suggests to deactivate via SM Admin.

So does anyone know the difference or is this new functionality?

Thank you in advance.
