[Ignored Vendors](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#ignored-vendors) # Ignoring Vendors in WickedFile ## In WickedFile, you have the option to ignore vendors that are not relevant to your reconciliation or reporting workflows. When a vendor is ignored, WickedFile will exclude all documents, transactions, and records associated with that vendor from processing — helping you maintain a clean and focused workspace. This feature is particularly useful for vendors that do not impact **COGS (Cost of Goods Sold)** or statement reconciliation, such as utilities, rent, software subscriptions, or one-time miscellaneous payments. --- #### **What Happens When You Ignore a Vendor** When you select **Ignore Vendor**, WickedFile will: - Remove the vendor from both the **Verified** and **Unverified** vendor lists. - Exclude any associated **invoices, credits, return slips, and parts** from reconciliation. - Prevent future uploads or bank transactions from automatically linking to this vendor. ⚠️ **Important:** Ignoring a vendor is a permanent action. Once ignored, the vendor and its related data will no longer appear in reconciliation views or statement tracking. --- #### **When to Ignore a Vendor** You should ignore a vendor when: - The vendor is **not part of your operational or COGS workflow**. - The vendor is related to **overhead expenses** such as: - Utilities (e.g., electricity, internet, phone) - Rent or leases - Office supplies or software - Bank fees or financing charges - The vendor represents **personal or non-business transactions** that were uploaded or imported by mistake. --- #### **How to Ignore a Vendor** 1. Navigate to the **Vendor** section. 2. Select the vendor you wish to ignore (from either Verified or Unverified lists). 3. Click **Edit Configuration**. 4. Choose **Ignore Vendor**. 5. Confirm your choice when prompted. ![Screenshot 2025-11-13 at 11.10.17 AM](https://help.wickedfile.com/hs-fs/hubfs/aircall/mms/90138917500/Screenshot%202025-11-13%20at%2011.10.17%20AM.png?width=670&height=340&name=Screenshot%202025-11-13%20at%2011.10.17%20AM.png) ![Screenshot 2025-11-13 at 11.13.38 AM](https://help.wickedfile.com/hs-fs/hubfs/aircall/mms/90138917500/Screenshot%202025-11-13%20at%2011.13.38%20AM.png?width=670&height=335&name=Screenshot%202025-11-13%20at%2011.13.38%20AM.png) Once confirmed, WickedFile will remove the vendor from your active lists and exclude its data from reconciliation and reporting. --- #### **Reversing an Ignored Vendor** If you ignored a vendor by mistake: 1. Navigate to your **Ignored Vendors** list. 2. Select the vendor you want to restore. 3. Choose **Unignore Vendor**. 4. Reconfigure the vendor as needed using the Vendor Configuration Guide. --- #### **Best Practices** ✅ Review unverified vendors before ignoring them to avoid excluding active business vendors. ✅ Ignore only vendors unrelated to your COGS or parts workflows. ✅ Keep track of ignored vendors for auditing or bookkeeping consistency. ✅ Use merge and verify options first before choosing to ignore a vendor. - [Getting Started](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AP Hub](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#ap-hub) - [Setup & Integrations](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/setup-integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Shop Management System Integrations](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/setup-integrations?hsLang=en#shop-management-system-integrations) - [Document Uploading Integrations](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/setup-integrations?hsLang=en#document-uploading-integrations) - [Vendor Management](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configurations](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#configurations) - [Verified/Unverified](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#verified-unverified) - [Ignored Vendors](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#ignored-vendors) - [Statements](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/vendor-management?hsLang=en#statements) - [Features & Capabilities](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AP Hub](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#ap-hub) - [Statements](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#statements) - [Tasks](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#tasks) - [Search](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#search) - [Custom Reports](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#custom-reports) - [Folders](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#folders) - [Trackers](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#trackers) - [Risk Ratings](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#risk-ratings) - [Parts Matrix](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/features-capabilities?hsLang=en#parts-matrix) - [Account & Billing](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/account-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Scans](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/account-billing?hsLang=en#scans) - [Payment Information](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/account-billing?hsLang=en#payment-information) - [Billing History](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/account-billing?hsLang=en#billing-history) - [FAQs](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Scans](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#scans) - [QuickBooks](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#quickbooks) - [Custom Reports](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#custom-reports) - ["Inventory"](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#inventory) - [Best Practices](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#best-practices) - [Repair Orders](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#repair-orders) - [Account](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#account) - [Bank Account & Credit Card Integration (Plaid)](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#bank-account-credit-card-integration-plaid) - [AP Hub](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#ap-hub) - [Other](https://help.wickedfile.com/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#other) [![WF-LOGO-RGB\_MAIN](https://help.wickedfile.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WF-LOGO-RGB_MAIN.png?width=200&height=55&name=WF-LOGO-RGB_MAIN.png "WF-LOGO-RGB_MAIN")](http://wickedfile.com) [mailto:contact-support@wickedfile.com](mailto:contact-support@wickedfile.com) Copyright © 2025, WickedFile
