    Hi,

    If you have duplicate vendors you can change and map them in the global address book by changing the party association.

    You seem to refer to the employee that is mapped for expense related per diem rates. Is that right? Assuming that this is the case you should be able to change the mapped employee simply in the form where you initially mapped the employee to the vendor.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi AX_Consultant,

    Change party association help you link a particular record in vendor master to global address book. E.g. You create a vendor - it got assigned party P1, then you create customer - it got assigned party P2. Later you determine your customer and vendor is same organization, you can link them in global address book. In order to link go to vendor, change party association and select the record from global address book. After the merge, if you go to GAB, then under roles, it will show you that you have a related customer / vendor on the Roles tab.

    What error message do you get when you try to change the vendor in employee master? If there are no error messages and you can't save the data, check if you have permissions to update. if yes, leverage developer to debug this or debug this yourself. We are able to successfully change it without any issues.

    Let me share my scenario :

    This is in regards to T&E module ,

    let say I have two Vendors  A have the Group as VENDOR and B have the Group as EMPLOYEE.

    Initially,  B is mapped to the Employee from the Vendor Mapping form (present in the header of Employee Master > Expense Management).

    Further I want to change the Vendor from B to A.

    I tried to change this, however It is not happening, it coming that the same VENDOR B for the employee.

    Is there any way by changing through the Change Party Association ?????????????????????????????????????????

    Hello AX_Consultant,

    Group means vendor group here, right?

    Can you share some supportive screenprints that illustrates the issue?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Sorry for the late response, 

    I have the Vendor VI0026 , Now I want to change that Vendor from this.

    Whenever I Change the Vendor , Let say V53457, It automatically pick the VI0026 not the V53457.

    Hi,

    You mean that it automatically resets the vendor account to the previous one?

    Best regards
