Hello, we created a purchase order for a vendor named “Tableau”. However, we received an invoice from the vendor “Salesforce”. It appears that Salesforce has acquired Tableau. We are wondering if we need to create a new purchase order for Salesforce and process the payment accordingly. Alternatively, can we use the existing purchase order for Tableau, create a bill, and process the payment for the Salesforce invoice? If we choose the second approach, would there be any impact? Please provide your input.

another option is to create a parent child relationship between SF and Tableau. Parent entity can be used for billing child's transactions - in theory 🤷🏼

Thank you, Sam for your quick response on this matter. So, the options I mentioned in my question can also be correct, right? I thought of creating the parent and child relationship as well, but for one PO, I didn't wanted to create. Going forward, the PO will be submitted under Salesforce only.

Since PO doesn't have any GL impact, you can close the old PO and create a new one under Salesforce for the remaining line items. That would be easier of all

Thank you, Sam🙏
