Multiple CPRCSTNM per customer?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to have more than one billing master in GP 2010. My company sells widgets to general contractors and so far we've only needed to bill the contractor or his [billing] parent account, but now we need a way to say that the contractor placed the order but the distributor is going to pay for the widgets. I find it hard to believe there aren't many other companies needing this functionality but my googling has not been fruitful. Thanks.

Create a new address for the contractor with the distributor's address and then add this address id to the 'Bill To' of the contractor's card.

Everything we do for billing (reporting, etc.) is based on the Parent Customer ID, not the BILL TO address of the child account.

RE: Multiple CPRCSTNM per customer?

Hi

If I'm reading this correctly, on the Sales Order you put the Contractor's name, and they receive the widgets you sold them. When the SOP doc is posted, it creates a receivable from the contractor. The Contractor doesn't pay the bill, nor is he supposed to. A virtually unrelated party pays the bill. You can't make the unrelated party a sibling of the contractor - using National Accounts. Essentially, you need to transfer the liability from the contractor to this other party.

Can you bill the 3rd party directly (at the time of the order) and create an address ID that is the address of the contractor. I would make the address ID match the contractor's customer number so that I could tie them back together. It's kind of the opposite of Jorge's suggestion. If the 3rd party needs to pay but the contractor needs to get the widgets, creating a contractor specific address ID should work.

Kind regards,

Leslie

Thanks. We decided we'll need to use the billing account of the distributor as the orderer and billpayer and have an extender field that tells us who actually ordered it. It's not ideal but it should work.
