If you receive a message like the one above stating "PO Vendor Mismatch"  it means that Nimbello is notifying you that the Vendor that was chosen for this invoice is incorrect. In this situation all that needs to be done is the Vendor needs to be updated to the correct one.

 

Let's take a look at the PO Details page.  You can view this after going to Transactions and then Search PO(as shown below) -search for the PO number, and then click View Details. (Not shown)

In the below image you can see the Vendor that matches this PO is "Cintas Corporation" Vendor Number "0000020557". PO vendor mismatch 2 

This error typically occurs when vendors with similar names have different vendor numbers.  For example, Cintas may have multiple locations each with their own vendor numbers.  Sometimes you are able to match with remit information, but using the Search PO page is a surefire way of confirming what vendor is associated with the PO.
