Mapping Trading Partners with NetSuite Vendors
For the trading partners associated with a subsidiary, map a corresponding NetSuite vendor.
The NetSuite vendor mapped to a trading partner is used to generate purchase orders for the trading partner. For example, you mapped NetSuite vendor ABC with trading partner XYZ. For items purchased from XYZ, purchase order is generated in the name of ABC in NetSuite.
In addition, you can perform item category mapping between NetSuite and trading partners only if you perform the following steps.
The following image illustrates the Account Mapping subtab where you need to map a NetSuite vendor for each of the trading partners.
To map trading partners with NetSuite vendors:
-
Go to Setup > SuiteProcurement > Preferences.
-
In the Manage Trading Partners section, click the Account Mapping subtab.
-
In the NetSuite Vendor field, select a vendor.
The field lists all active vendors associated with a subsidiary.
-

The field lists accounts of type Bank or Credit Card based on the subsidiary selected.
-
Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each of the trading partners for a subsidiary.
