If an item is going to be replaced by another item from a DIFFERENT vendor, should a new PO13.3 record be created for the new item?

I'm asking because I see in our system where the Replace and Inactivate option was done for an item, but the item replacing it was for a different vendor than the PO13.3 was originally created for.

This doesn't seem right to me. I would think that any items listed on a PO13.3 form should all be from the vendor associated on that PO13.3.

Is that correct??

Yes I agree with you. The PO13.3 Replace and Inactivate is used when a vendor makes a change to their vendor item number. We use that feature mainly for custom packs each time a revision is made.

Agreed. It's even important to use it only when the inactivated vendor number isn't going to be used again since it removes it from the vendor agreement when it is replaced. So you wouldn't want them to use it for substitutions - only items that are truly replaced by the same vendor like packs or other times when the vendor issues a new number for the same item.
