    does anyone know an easy way, or if it is possible, to change vendor numbers and maintain the vendor history.  employees are in our vendor master file.  we have just implemented a new adp portal and I was wondering if there would be any easy way we could change the employees vendor numbers to match the adp employee number and keep the vendor history under the new #.  The range of numbers used by the adp employee # is not being used in the lawson apvenmast.

      If you set up the new vendor number you could do the vendor merge but that would be pretty labor intensive.

      option 2 I see would be for You to interface the invoices as historical, so basically pull the invoice history for the old vendor and load it to the new vendor using the conversion programs/add-ins.

        You could store the ADP employee number as a cross reference vendor number using the AP15 and just continue with the vendor numbering system you have now. You should be able to load all the cross reference numbers using addins which would make the process a whole lot easier.
