    We are working on boarding more vendors using GLN but have been running into some snags.

    Mainly vendors who can only have 1 account # per GLN (which is fine) but don't want to set up seperate accounts for suites etc in the same building.

    Here is my perdicament:

    We have multiple inventory locations within 1 building so on our PO's we need to use those unique values so the items know if they are inventory or non-stock.

    Each of these inventory locations have their own GLN but share a common loading dock.

    I have 8 vendors already who just created different accounts to accomidate the different shipto values in Lawson and others who will not.

    So as not to go back to my live vendors and make them change their setups is there a work around where you can setup by vendor to use 1 main GLN and still have the PO's use their own ship to that is tied to a different GLN?

    Complicated isn't it.

      How are you transmitting the GLN? On ED40, I would just put in whichever GLN they wanted for the ship to. We're using GHX, so it's on the translation table.

        We still have the account # in ED40 and are strictly using IC58 to transmit the GLN on the PO's. Works great that way for 95% of our vendors.

          Well I got this tested and working so hopefully it helps others with the same issue of multiple inventory locations within one location.
          In IC58 add the inventory locations to a main GLN location in IC64.2.
          This transmitts the main GLN but allows multiple ship to locations on the purchase order.
          Eliminating the need for a seperate GLN for every inventory location.
