We have a discussion going on about the best way to set up a process to have our inventory and non inventory go to two separate locations. Today, they physically ship to one location, future ship to two locations. The question arises from the use of Purchase From locations for a vendor; and Ship To locations for our organization. In PO10.2 if a vendor only has one physical location which they ship from and we have multiple locations that source from that one plant how many Purchase from locations do we need to set up; one for each of our locations that the same plant ships to or just one? The below comes from the field help from PO10.2; is the below referencing Purchase From as the vendors locations or our locations where they ship product to? I am relatively new to Lawson, used SAP in past and the hierarchy the account set up in SAP was much more easier to understand. I think some of our set up was done with a different understanding of how Lawson works or is suppose to work.
Use Vendor Purchase From Location (PO10.2) to define additional information
about alternate locations from which you can purchase the products for a
vendor. The vendor must already be set up in the Accounts Payable Vendor form.
Use of this form is optional.
Limits and tolerances from PO10.1 are used if the Purchase From Location is
not specificed on the PO.
Limits and tolerances from PO10.2 are used if the Purchase From Location is
specified on the PO.
**More Information
If you have already defined some of these parameters at the company
level, you can use this form to redefine these same parameters for individual
vendors. If you set up specific vendor parameters on this form, the parameters
default onto all purchase orders for the vendor, but you can override the
defaults on individual orders.
