What is the SAP standard process for a vendor that changes it's name? Do you create a new vendor? If you create a new vendor, how do you link the old vendor data?
The problem we encounter was an auditor was making selections from an SAP report and selected a 2007 invoice from vendor ####### which displayed the name: "Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics". When the responsible A/P person looked in their Siemens file, they could not find the invoice. Someone remembered that this vendor was actually named Dade Behring Inc in 2007. (1) When is a "name change" really a new vendor account and (2) If a name change is not a new account, is there a field in the vendor master record where we could store the "old name" so that it would be visible to A/P but not appear in places where it should not.
Vendor name updation is not aafect the vendor account number. If you want to disaplay the old name.. then in the general data screen, put the cursor on Name field And go to in menu bar
