NetSuite Professionals

so I have situation that vendor bill must be paid not directly to vendor but to other company. I can't select that other company as a vendor in vendor bill because I will have incorrect data in purchase register. And such situation is not one time case its a regular business. If you aware what is factoring process then this is smth similar to it. So how do you solve such issues? As far as I know Netsuite have natively nothing for that so I'm ready to script it just looking for ideas. Also one note, that the goal is to prepare electronic bank payments from Netsuite so I cant solve this issues by playing  at GL level only.

Sounds like you're dealing with a financing company?

I would create a custom field for recording the actual vendor (not the one you are paying - the one you are paying should be the A/P  or primary Vendor)

Alternatively - you could set up 2 separate vendors. Get an invoice from the first - enter it in the system, and then credit it off and add a new one on the 2nd vendor for the actual cash payment - but should note this probably forks any 1099 reporting if that's involved.
