Vendor name Changes

What is the SAP standard process for a vendor that changes it's name? Do you create a new vendor? If you create a new vendor, how do you link the old vendor data?

I am familiar with XK02.

The problem we encounter was an auditor was making selections from an SAP report and selected a 2007 invoice from vendor ####### which displayed the name: "Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics". When the responsible A/P person looked in their Siemens file, they could not find the invoice. Someone remembered that this vendor was actually named Dade Behring Inc in 2007. (1) When is a "name change" really a new vendor account and (2) If a name change is not a new account, is there a field in the vendor master record where we could store the "old name" so that it would be visible to A/P but not appear in places where it should not.
