It often occurs that a purchase order is created for vendor A, items are received and then the invoice is sent from vendor B.
Vendor B should have been the pay-to vendor on the invoice, but it is not.
Quickest solution would be to undo the purchase receipt, change the pay-to vendor on the purchase order, re-post the receipt and then post the invoice.
However when the received items are already used or sold, that is not possible. Then another work around must be found.
It would be nice if it were possible to change the pay-to vendor on a purchase order, even after the purchase order is received.

I agree with the proposed solutions. Another option is to determine through a global setup if the 'get receipt lines' function to work with the 'Buy from-vendor' or the 'pay-to vendor" of the receipt

Hello! We face the exact same issue as described by 'Anastasia Alexandridi'. As another option instead of changing the pay-to vendor after 'get the receipt lines.." would be, the 'get receipt lines' function to work with the 'Buy from-vendor' of the receipt.That is, the below scenario must work:1. Create a 'Purchase Order' with Buy-from Vendor = Pay-to Vendor e.g. V12. Receive the Purchase Order3. Create a Purchase Invoice. That is, Purchase Invoices \ New. Fill in Buy-from Vendor in the General tab with the vendor to whom the order was made (i.e. V1)4. Go to FastTab Shipping & Payment and fill in Pay-to Vendor no with the different vendor that issued the invoice (e.g. V2)5. Go back to General and fill in the rest of the information as usual (Currency, etc).6. Then go to Functions\ Get Receipts Lines...

We face the same issue. Our customers create orders for hundreds of items usually sent to the headquarters of suppliers with facilities all over the world on a daily basis. Most of the times even after they receive the items, they do not know which company will actually issue the invoice. Having to undo the purchase receipt, change the pay-to vendor on the purchase order, re-post the receipt, before posting the invoice isn't exactly productive. And since the invoice needs to be posted correctly in its entirety for tax related reporting, we have yet to find a decent workaround for cases where the items have already been used before the invoice arrives.It would be nice if we could change the pay-to vendor on the purchase invoice after we have connected it to a receipt.
