Which vendor to put in PO?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

just wanted to quickly confirm something :---

We have two vendor roles - an external vendor role ( that wil be the payee as well) and another vendor role for ordering address. The external vendor is linked to the ordering address vendor using partner functions but the OA vendor does not have a link to the other vendor (ie payee)

I've two questions: is this setup correct or do we also need to link the OA vendor to the main payee vendor

ii) when raising the PO which vendor should be specified? the main vendor to whom payment will be made so that at time of invoice verification , relevant account can be automatically determined & then figures posted?? this is what I think should be done. But some users have specified the OA vendor in the PO? Is this wrong now b/c OA vendor is not linked to the payee vendor... or in PO we should only specify the final payee vendor.

your advise is appreciated...

thanks.

Hi,

Normally the PO will be created to the vendor to which it needs to go.( the vendor who receives the PO).at XK02--Partner functions, this vendor will be provided with the partner vendors.for example X is the vendor to receive the PO(in the PO this vendor has to be there), then in the opartner profiles provide y as OA and Z as IP ETC.

After providing the roles if you create the PO to this vendor X , if you check the partner tab in header these details will come.
