Third-party with freight forwarding partner

[Kaitlin]

Hello.

I would like to be able to use the third-party sales process where my supplier sends the goods to one of my partners first, a freight forwarding company, and only from there the goods are transported to my end-customer.

Is there a clever way to end up having in the PO both my freight forwarder(I maintain this information in the sales order) and my ShipTo address so that I can print both addresses in my PO output?

I do have partner tab in the PO but haven't seen any in the purchase requisition so I'm not sure if we have some sort of copy-control here...

Thank you.

A Simple approach: If the Supppier always ships through a particular freight forwarder, you can maintain the partner "GS" or "FA" in the vendor master. Make this partner required always and make settings so it cannot be changed in the PO. Once the partner is adopted In the PO, the addresses can be fetched in the PO form from the master data.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I added another GS partner and selected it manually when I created the PO. Due to that on the output I have now 3 addresses although the labels of the address boxes may need small adjustments - this looks very promising but ultimately business will decide .

I'll keep you posted.
