- Click Manage.
- Select the organization in the side panel.
- Click the Vendor tab.

- Set the vendor status:
- If you are currently using this vendor, leave the Active box selected.
- If the vendor is inactive, clear the Active box.
Note:Vendors can't be deleted from Global Tax Determination for reference purposes, but they can be made inactive. If a vendor is marked as inactive, Global Tax Determination will ignore it entirely.

- If you have an exemption with this vendor, select the Entity/Use Code for that exemption, then click >. The Entity/Use Code will move from Available Entity/Use to Selected Entity/Use.
- If you do not have any exemptions with this vendor, leave Standard Taxing Jurisdiction Based Rules (Default) in Selected Entity/Use.
For more information, read about Entity/Use Codes in this article. - In Step 3, select the Third Party box if the vendor is a dropshipper and you receive goods from them on behalf of a third party.
