QUESTION POSED ON: 21 September 2005
I have a vendor that uses a factoring company for all its receivables. This is creating an identity problem for us in accounts payable. We make the PO out to our vendor but must pay the invoice to a factor. We need to identify the vendor in our system as the supplier but want the checks to be made out to the factoring company. How do we do this? Thanks.

This situation is not that uncommon. It will require modifying the AP Check Print.

You will need to store the Factors information in Oracle. My suggestion would be to set up a Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) at the vendor level to store it. Then, using the Oracle Reports tool, modify the AP Check Print to use the information in the DFF. If there is no data in the DFF, then use the Vendor name as normal. This way, it solves your current issue, and if you ever have to add an additional Factor for another vendor, it will not require further modification.
