I am working towards awarding a new agreement soon for Syncrude that will require either a change to an existing vendor in the Syncrude Vendor Master or the set up of a new vendor is the vendor master. I am exploring some options so that I can provide the appropriate direction to the supplier.
Background:
Bidder is an unincorporated JV [Contractor: GK, a joint venture between Graham Industrial Services and KMC Mining Corporation].
Graham Industrial Services currently is set up in our vendor master [Vendor # 50001892] as we have an agreement with them [SCL STRIPES 4600100276].
Question:
Even though the contract is with GK and both Graham and KMC will be signing the contract, Graham is wondering if we simply set up a second bank account under their existing Graham vendor #50001892, so they can bill and be paid to this second bank account from the new agreement with GK?
Is this possible or even practical for us to do?
If not, I am assuming we should be setting up ‘GK’ as a new separate vendor in the vendor master? I am also assuming that in order to process their invoices, it would come with a remit to “GK”, correct?
Please advise.
Dear Connie,
I have cc’d you on this note because this vendor is in CDMS and I want to understand if it is even possible to have to different agreements in CDMS under the same vendor? Do you anticipate any issues from CDMS? Is CDMS able to direct the money into different bank accounts under the same vendor number where we have two separate agreements with them? Please advise.
