It is now required that all open Requisitions or Purchase Orders (PO) for a user be reassigned before their account can be deactivated. When attempting to deactivate, if Prendio detects that the user is the Requester for any open orders, the Reassign Purchase Orders / Requisition window automatically opens with a warning that orders must be reassigned:

For more information, see the help doc Reassign Purchase Orders and Requisitions to Different Requesters.

• Before deactivating a user, the Prendio Admin should note where the user is involved as an approval delegate, spending limit approver in other users' personal approval paths, and segment approver/watcher. This information is used to make the necessary edits to the profiles of anyone impacted by this change.

Deleting The User Profile (Only if Necessary)

 

Note: It is highly recommended to avoid deleting user profiles unless necessary. Prendio user licensing charges do NOT apply to inactive users and those users do not appear in the Users table by default. Keeping users inactive allows you to refer to them for historical purposes or reactivate them should their access be required again in the future.

 

Locate the Admin role and Users tab:

 

Select the Include Inactive box:

 

Find the inactive user and select Delete:

 

 

Confirm Yes to delete:

 

A success message will appear at the top of the screen:

 

The user will no longer appear in the table of users even if Include Inactive is selected.
