Link vendors to shipping agents

If the Create and Post Purchase Order toggle on the Transport Setup page is turned on, the system will automatically generate a purchase order upon posting a transport order. The vendor linked to the shipping agent in the transport order will be used as the vendor for creating the purchase order. For more information, see Post transport orders.

If the shipping agent in the transport order is not linked with the vendor, the system will not generate a purchase order upon posting the transport order, even when the Create and Post Purchase Order toggle on the Transport Setup page is turned on.

To link vendors to shipping agents:

1. Select the Search icon , enter Shipping Agents, and then choose the related link.
   The Shipping Agents page opens.
2. In the Vendor No. field, select the required vendor that you intend to link to the selected shipping agent.
   The vendor is linked to a shipping agent. While posting a transport order, the vendor that is linked to the relevant shipping agent is used for creating the purchase order.
