Vendor name change

Hi, 

please suggest if a vendor company changed its name, should we create new ledger with new name or should we use old account by changing name.

 

thanks in advance

Quick Summary
When a vendor changes their company name, a key accounting question arises: should you create a new ledger or simply update the existing account? While updating the old account might seem simpler, best practice often suggests creating a new ledger. This ensures clarity and proper record-keeping, especially within systems like SAP where new ledgers require specific authorisation.

You should make a new ledger and transfer old balance to the new ledger
In sap that new ledger requires proper concurrence.
