    Years ago we had both a bulk account & a LUM/JIT account with Owens & Minor.  We decided to go away from LUM/JIT in favor of a central inventory location.  We now are working towards being 100% LUM/JIT with Medline system wide.  As a part of the transition we expect to have a need to order some items both in bulk & in JIT temporarily.  

    My question is - is it possible to order in both bulk & JIT under the same vendor number?  We had 2 vendor numbers with O&M so that's the only way we know.  We want to avoid having multiple PO25's for the same item(s) if possible as it's more to maintain, but we have to make sure everything else flows smoothly.  Thanks.

      We did this with Vendor Purch From - but that is assuming you aren't using that field to distinguish your ship tos. We don't - we transmit req loc.

      So we had an EDIP Vendor Purch From that transmitted to the LUM account and everything else went PUR1 - the bulk account. So my ED40 Lawson Value was: REQLOC|Vendor|EDIP|Company for LUM and REQLOC|Vendor|PUR1|Company for bulk. When it was Owens we could get away with ordering CA from the LUM Warehouse and never really needed to create 2 PO25s so I can't help on that.

        Thanks this is very helpful. I think Medline can also take a CA order & convert to LUM so I'm going to talk to them about that.
