Documentation

Definition

Number of the vendor for whom a goods movement is carried out

Use

You should complete this field for a goods receipt without reference to a purchase order (for example, for goods ordered by phone). The system can then create a pseudo purchase order for a certain vendor in the background.

If no entry is made in the field, the system looks for the relevant supply source. Processing can only continue correctly if the external system finds only one supply source (vendor).

In the case of warehouse procurement, you do not need to enter a vendor number as no pseudo purchase orders are created in the background.
