# Merge suppliers

> Merges other parties into this one. This party is linked at once to every agreement the merged parties are linked to, subscription filters move to it, and the merged parties disappear from lists and lookups. Their invoices and alerts then move to this party in the background, and each merged party is deleted with its agreement links once they have; until then, counts and filters by this party include only the rows already moved, and agreements still list the merged parties. Matching re-runs for affected agreements; the response lists them with their workflow runs. If the response is lost, read the party before retrying.
