Hello,
Currently, we are using the main ship to account number in the N1ST segment along with the SDQ segment on the 850 EDI PO to have some of our vendors to lookup accounts on their side and deliver directly to our departments/clinics.
We have several purchase froms set up under the vendor, one for each of our main hospital receiving docks and have the main ship to account numbers for these assigned with the purchase froms and the main ship to accounts registered in GHX. Some of the departments that fall under the main hospital locations are located in the main hospital and others are offsite locations. The vendor has set up on their side an EDI table that is a concatenation of the N1ST value (main ship to account number)+SDQ segment value (requesting location) to locate the delivery address.
We have come across a vendor that does not have this capability. We would like to have direct delivery but do not want to have to create many unique ship to accounts with the vendor (and in our mind many purchase from locations for the EDI Data Sub to be unique) in order to send over unique account numbers for each location.
Does anyone have any recommendations on other options to set something like this up in FSM to prevent having to set up each req loc with its own ship to account in FSM and GHX?
Thank you in advance for any advice or recommendations provided.
Kim Castillo
