Hi,

While what Dan is suggesting can work, Purchase Orders has an option in the company profile that deals directly with this issue. You enable change Vendors on the invoice in the company profile. The option is the on the Entry tab, "Allow Vendor Change on Invoice", on the lower right side, 3rd option from the bottom of the window. Set this with a click on and save the profile.

When I designed Purchase Orders, your need was definitely are requirement when you ordered from a website or a central distribution centre and that supplier may have had a subsidiary supply you with the product, and so it arrives from another "Vendor", and you were looking at a now what situation?

Same idea applies for your allocated freight charges that you could be attempting to allocate as miscellaneous charges, and who knows which transport company is going to deliver the product to your door with 3rd party freight charges that have to be dealt with. You can change the actual receipted details from original trucking company to the actual company who sends you the invoice when entering the invoice. Posting the invoice in PO's will direct the invoice to the proper vendor in Payables, with a complete audit trail.

For this to work, we are assuming your are receipting packing slips or shipping manifests as delivery notes in the receipt function (as part of matching receipts to Purchase Orders), and then using the invoice (adjustment) process to match the vendor invoice to the packing slip.

There are tons of options in Purchase Orders that users are not sure how to enable or adjust to make this a complete purchasing solution for everyone that uses or needs purchase orders. Glad you are using Adagio PO's as your solution.

Best,
Brian
