Script to update vendor inactive date and invoice match option

Question

As part of a review of our precure to pay process in 11.5.10, we have to make a change to a large number of suppliers (vendors).
We want to disable about 7000 suppliers by setting the inactive date and for the remaining suppliers change the invoice match option from receipt to purchase order
There does not appear to be any api that I can use to make these changes.
Does anyone have any experience in using a baisc update script to change the data.
Scripts would be something like:
Inactivate suppliers
update po_vendors
set end_date_active = sysdate
where vendor_id in <list of vendors to update>
update po_vendor_sites_all
set inactive_date = sysdate
where vendor_site_id = <list of vendors sites to update>
Change invoice match option
update po_vendors
set match_option = 'P'
where vendor_id in <list of vendors to update>
update po_vendor_sites_all
set match_option ='P'
where vendor_site_id = <list of vendors sites to update>

Answer 1

Hello.
In your place i would not have the guts to use SQL for a task like that. You know what Oracle says about using tools to modify data in the database. They always say that it is not supported and to use forms to modify the data. So I would suggest you to use a tool like DataLoad to query and modify your suppliers.
