## Description

Deletes the vendor object referenced by this URL.
            
A vendor object defines information about a person or business that you purchase products from.
The same CertCapture customer resource is used for vendors (isVendor flag).  Deleting removes the record.
            
Before you can use any exemption certificates endpoints, you must set up your company for exemption certificate data storage.
Companies that do not have this storage system set up will see `CertCaptureNotConfiguredError` when they call exemption
certificate related APIs. To check if this is set up for a company, call `GetCertificateSetup`.  To request setup of exemption
certificate storage for this company, call `RequestCertificateSetup`.
