Payment address different from purchasing address

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is there a way to create separate purchasing and payment addresses within a single vendor master record WITHOUT creating a separate alternative payee vendor master record? Our purchasing department is entering the purchasing address and contact information in the general vendor information so that it pulls into the purchase orders. Our accounting department is then having to populate the company code data on the vendor created by purchasing AND has to create an additional vendor master record for the alternative payee information. I haven't been able to find a way to accomplish this within a single vendor master record. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'll award points for any helpful answers (even if you tell me it cannot be done).

Thanks!

HI,

SAP provides the functionality by the field Alternative Payee. I am not aware of a way of doing it in the same vendor master record.

I've heard that perhaps the partner functionality might make this possible. Has anyone tried utilizing this functionality for this purpose.

Hi,

Yes, you are correct. But to create a partner function you have to create a new vendor record and assign it to the original vendor, which does not match you requirement.

I was afraid that was what you were going to say. Thanks very much to both of you for your quick and helpful responses!
