Vendor Creation guidelines

[Former Member]

If the same vendor had two branches with different addresses, should I set these up as different vendor master records?

Are there any guidelines that is recommended to be "best practice" for this?

Cheers.

Hi,

Yes you would need to set them up as 2 different vendors in your system.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your answer. What of partner functions or vendor subranges? Will these not address this requirement or are those different functionalities altogether?

Hi,

Yes partner functions are helpful, but when you specify a partner function, you would also need to provide the vendor code along with it. Anyways partner function is useful, when a vendor has a different entity which bills & another entity which supplies the material etc. But in all cases you would need to identify them with a seperate vendor code.

For vendor sub-ranges refer to the link below, it is quite illustrative.
