Hi Friends,

I'm working on 11.5.9 and want to know weather same is followed in 11.5.10 and R12. Can any one differentiate between the two tables mentioned below version wise.

Need clarification on why supplier details are stored in two different tables when seen from purchasing point of view, the details are stored in PO_VENDORS and in Oracle Payables point of view same supplier details are stored in AP_VENDORS. What is the difference between these two tables.

Hoping for an early reply
Thanks In Advance

Suppliers are stored in PO_VENDOR tables only. In R12 Suppliers are part of Trading community architecture
