Change Vendor Number on Invoice

[Former Member]

We are seeking ways to better control changes to vendor numbers when inputting an invoice based on 3 way match. We are especially concerned about situation where the PO has already had a receipt, and the vendor number is changed.

Does anyone have a solution that they like? Does anyone use alerts, reason codes, limiting of the functionality or monitoring reports?

Thanks for the information.

hi,

If the PO has already had a reciept,this is case of a ratification.To avoid this situation you can set the PO in the GR "Mandatory";so the ratification is current with the transaction.Here the ratified PO should be released immedietely-thus enabling the three way match.

Changing the vendor number is a very serious thing.By suitable authorisations this should be prevented.You can achieve this using T/code:PFCG.Work with the basis consultant for effecting security settings.

Hope this helps.

Hi Marie,

The best practice would be to reverse the goods receipt, lock the PO, create a PO with new vendor, raise a goods receipt for new PO & then do a invoice receipt.

Revert for clarifications & reward points if useful.
