D365FO Same Vendor in different entity

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by NaveenKumar S 3,457

Hello, 

I to legal entities which are not related to each other in same instance, and i have a vendor that needs to be created in both these two legal entities. Now when i'm trying to create the same vendor in 2nd legal entity, i get a message asking 

"

Match found

 

There might already be a record for '..........'. Please consider whether you would like to use one of these possible matches instead of creating a new record.


"


i want to treat this vendor separately in legal entity 1 and legal entity 2. So that the vendor's outstanding in legal entity 1 does not interfere with legal entity 2.


So which option can be used here 'Use Match' option or 'Cancel' option ?

    Hi Naveen,

    If you want to create same vendor in different entities, you can do it by adding vendor to another legal entity.

    Please refer to the below screenshot .

    Hi Naveen

    If it is the same vendor you want to create in the two legal entities you should use the method QianQW.

    This ensure that both vendors have the same party ID. In the different legal entities the vendors can have different vendor group, payment terms, vat group, bank account or other setup that must be different.

    If you want to create two different vendors having different party ID you must not use the approach described by QianQW but create a new vendor with a different a Party ID.

    Kind regards

    Sten

    Hi Naveen,

    The message you get is related to the duplicate check on global address book records. It will ask you to link the new vendor to an existing party record.

    You can now choose to link it which could have some advantages on e.g. centralized payments or reporting. Or you can create a complete new party record and accept a duplicate.

    If you want to learn more, I did write a book about this topic: dynamicspedia.com/.../
