Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Hello guys,

In standard printing for Purchase Order, either it is Purchase Confirmation or Invoice/Proforma Invoice, is it possible that we print Vendor Name from Purchase Order Header it self ?

I think currently for standard, is it always print the Vendor Name from Vendor Master instead. Is there a way to print from header instead without the need of customization ?

Any idea or help how to achieve this ?

Thanks

Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Hi @Teevo,

I understood your concern, even though the system is saving the record from PurchTable.purchname to Purchases order confirmation header, but in the print it is taking vendor name from master.

I validated the same from backend and it seems there is no related configuration that can correct the behaviour for purchase order print.. in the report, it is picking from Vendtable.name() and i am not able to see any condition around it that can be triggered from front-end.

For print purchase, system uses PurchPurchaseOrderHeader table to link the same in report designer. We can see clearly that VendName field is updating fro VendTable.name() which represents master data not the transaction data.

You need to do the customization to extend and pick this value from PurchName field of Purchase order confirmation header [PurchTableAllVersions].

At present it is picking only 3 to 4 fields from PurchTableALLVersions, customization is must to correct the behaviour as per your business requirement. Parallely you can also raise to MS to ask for support.

Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Hi Neeraj,

Yes, I believe the PurchName that you're mentioned is the field that I'm referring to as Vendor name in Purchase Order Form ->

So after PO created and choosing the Vendor Account, this field is the one I'm edit and change its name.

But after confirm and print the Confirmation, turns out it will print the "original" Vendor Name (from master) instead the one I just key in.

So, basically, I'm a bit confuse as of why we can edit or change the name then ?

But if not necessary, we do not want to make a customization first. So, I'm asking whether there is some setting that I don't know in order to print the "PuchName" or Vendor Name from PO Header instead print Vendor name from master.

Thanks

Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Hi @Teevo,

In case of One time vendor, system updates the purchname = "One time vendor" and keep it editable. So, we should use PurchName fied from Purchtable to get the vendor name.

I have explained with backend logic as well in previous reply.

Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Because there is a condition whereby our client want to have Generic Vendor Account, it is basically for one time vendor, but they don't want to use One-time Vendor scheme.

So, basically we're also tempted to use this Vendor Name in Purchase Order Header, when in fact, after the name has value from Vendor master, it is in fact Editable. I am not sure why, when it is editable, so everyone can change it, but the print out still printing back from Vendor Master name.

Is it something we don't know how to "operate" this print out ? some setting that we don't know ? The editable vendor name in Purchase Order Header really is very tempting to use.

Hi @Teevo,

Instead of printing the vendor name from vendor master, you should use the "PurchName" field from PurchTable.

This field stores the value from VendTable.Name()

Purchase Order Print out - Vendor Name

Hi,

I am little unclear about what you said above.

Purchase orders are created for vendors and vendor master data is updated on the purchase order header (vendor name as an example)

When generating docs both will be same. Why you want to be in a situation where the Vendor name on the purchase order header is different from the vendor's name on the vendor master for the same vendor account?
