Vendor Change

Posted on by Community Member

I created a blanket PO under a vendor and received three of the five orders under that PO.  I have also used some of the material which is lot tracked.  The vendor has sold and a name change has occurred.  I have deleted the two orders that were still open, but I need for the material that was received to be in the new vendor name.

    Paul,

    If you are on Dynamics GP 2013 or higher, then you can use Purchasing > Utilities > Vendor Combiner and Modifier to make the change.  Here is an overview from the documentation on the tool:

    If you select Vendor Combiner, the source vendor ID is removed from the system after the combine process is finished. Work, open and history records are combined to the destination vendor ID. If you select Vendor Modifier, all work, open, and history records are updated. You do not have to manually enter a new vendor ID and reenter all open invoices.

    You must be logged in as user with SQL Server administrative privileges to combine or modify vendor IDs. Typically, this will be the “sa” user.

    As Harry points out there are tools that will do this for you - but I get the sense from the post that you want to have the split?  You want / need to keep track of the old name?  

    If so, you have to recreate the first set of PO's, do a reversing of what was received and re-do the work of receiving in under the new name.

    If you are not interested in keeping 'history on name' then I would do what Harry recommends and simply use the tool to change the name of the vendor, or ID if you like and it rolls down to all the data in the system related to that Vendor ID.

    Better and fast to do do and cleaner as well.  You only need to make a note on the client file that 'as of this date' this is what changed.
