Question: Transfer SMI inventory to new supplier?

We have a supplier that was just purchased. We have inventory in SMI bins under the old supplier ID that we need to transfer to the new supplier ID. How have other users handled this transfer? The old supplier has a fair number of parts we purchase, and we need to keep our inventory straight with this move. We also need to be able to pay them under their new Tax ID by 11/1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a reason why you can’t update the supplier record with the new ID and supplier name and information?
If no,
In your test system if you delete or reduce quantity on the receipt which put the inventory there (or reduce quantity) will it remove them from inventory without incurring a SMI transaction to invoice?

No matter what you are able to do with the existing inventory, I think you will have to create a new purchase order and re-receive the SMI inventory on a PO and bin that match the new supplier.
