UTILITIES - VENDOR COMBINER & MODIFIER

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

We are using GP 2013 and I haven't used this tool before.  Is this as straightforward as it seems or should I be aware of any issues when using this?  If someone out there has used this and would be willing to walk me through the first time, that would be great.  I can't find any tutorials on this at all...

    RE: UTILITIES - VENDOR COMBINER & MODIFIER

    If Vendor A has vendor item number 1 for inventory item AAA and Vendor B have vendor item number 2 for inventory item AAA and Vendor A and B go through the vendor merge process resulting in only Vendor B what will happen?  

    Will I get Vendor B with vendor item number 1 for inventory item AAA and another record with Vendor B with vendor item number 2 for inventory item AAA?

    If yes, what will a PO do with two conflicting records?

    If no will the vendor merge fail entirely due to the duplication?

    thanks!

    The Process is absolutely straightforward and as simple as eating a piece of cake !

    Just be aware of these two terms:

    • Source Vendor ID, the vendor that will be changed (either combined or modified)
    • Destination Vendor Id, the name of the vendor that you want the source vendor to combine into or modify

    If you choose the combine option, then the destination vendor id filed will provide a look up in order to choose from your current vendor list. Otherwise, if you choose the modify option, the destination vendor id will not have a lookup so that you can enter the new ID.

    If you want a video tutorial, you may check this one for modifying the vendor id. Although, this video has been made for the utility when it was part of the Professional Service Tools Library, but it is definitely with the same concept even after moving the utility into Dynamics GP.

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
