How do you add 1 time sundry purchases?

Hi,
When I enter a purchase order for something I have bought, say from eBay, I have to add a new supplier, this would mean that I would end up with a huge list of suppliers that I may never buy from again.
How do you do it to get over this issue?

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately Solar Accounts doesn't have a way to mark suppliers as 'inactive'. One solution is to create a supplier named 'Unknown Supplier'.

Regards,

Just in case anyone looks at this many months later - I had this problem as I travel and have restaurant and airport meal receipts from out of the way places I am unlikely ever to revisit.
I created two suppliers - one called Cafe and the other called retaurant, and then if I think the meal was a one-off and the bill is not high, I enter it there, and add the actual name in the notes part.
Works for me.
For ebay you could simply call it 'ebay' and add the actual name in the notes.
