 Kobie,

 It sounds like you are running Infor EAM (aka MMS or ELKE, depending on
 the
 version), Enterprise Asset Management.  If you're not sure, check with
 someone in your Maintenance or MRO department.

 This module has its own vendor and purchasing files, but there is also an
 interface called AMI that synchronizes data between the two systems.  When
 AMI is active over purchasing files, you can't add a vendor to BPCS if the
 same vendor# is already in EAM.  The assumption is that if it's in EAM, it
 was already added to BPCS.

 I recommend:
 1. Find out if the vendor# in EAM is the same vendor you're trying to add
 in
 ACP100.  Possibly it was already added but was then manually deleted from
 BPCS.

 2.  If it is the same vendor that you're trying to add, then instead of
 ACP100, go into PUR100 to add the vendor.  Once it is added, you can go
 into
 ACP100 to do any necessary maintenance on it.

 3.  If it is a different vendor, then you may have a few other problems to
 figure out (such as why users are adding vendors in EAM when AMI is
 active).  But just specify a vendor# when you create your new vendor in
 ACP100 and it should work.

 Any Idea?
