    We have Lawson v10 and use GHX for our EDI processing. We just set up a new vendor that has an odd GHX set up. They process 850/855 documents using one account structure, and 856/810 using another. So for every ship to location there are two accounts. For example, one of our facilities is set up for account 1234 for 850/855 processing. But the same facility is set up for account 0001234 for 856/810 processing. How should the ED records in Lawson be set up to deal with this? We have our ED10 screen set up for this vendor in order to accept invoices. And the ED40 records are set up with ship to's that link to the 850/855 accounts. Is there an ED40 record that can be set up for invoices to link them to the 856/810 accounts? Sorry if this is confusing. Any help is appreciated.

      You would have to test - but it's possible you don't care.

      The 856 doesn't map the account number inbound so MA531 will just match to PO and release.
      The 810 is likely the same way - it cares that it can find a PO number to match against - it's going to pull all the other information from PO20. When the invoices go out - they are going to reference Invoice and PO - it's only if the payment references account that you'll have issues.

      We had 2 vendors that did this - the one just accepted the fact that we ignored it and the other ended up getting turned off EDI.

        Maybe I'm not interpreting your question correctly, but couldn't you just do your vendor_O_SHIPTO record as 1234 and your vendor_I_ records as 0001234 (where your 810 and 856 would process) AND 1234 (where your 855 would process). Yes, it duplicates the necessary records, but it will match on the account.
