In our company we currently have 2 separate vendors, one for purchasing and one for FI. We are wondering if it was a good business requirement, if not we probably want to consider changing it.
The main idea behind doing as we are doing currently is we could link multiple purchasing vendors to a single paying vendor.

In an ERP, it is more advisable if we can take advantage of limited master data maintenance. There is no absolute requirement to maintain a vendor master only for the sake of making payment. You can extend the payment related master data information in the original vendor account.
If there are scenarios like a head office and branches, you can make use of head office account in the vendor master data of the branches. All transactions get posted to the head office account.
Maintain Alternate payee only in those cases where you intend the payment to be re-directed to this vendor, when you run a payment program.
