Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
- Under Common Tasks, select "new Supplier invoice without Purchase Order"
- Select the supplier and goto "Parties and Locations" sub tab under General tab
- The payee information is auto-populated as the supplier name . Now, Select value help, there are no other options available in the value help
Cause
As soon as you enter supplier name, the Invoicing Party and Payee fields will be automatically filled with the same data.
Resolution
If you want to specify a particular payee for that supplier, you can do so in the supplier master data.
Open the supplier master data of the particular supplier, select view all and navigate to Contacts tab-> Relationships-> select Relationship type as "Has the Payee", enter the Business Partner details
Then the system will pick that particular payee which you have maintained in the supplier master data.
