Knowledge Management

Question:
Below is an example of my problem :
Stock items are procured from a Vendor and a Transporter (Vendor) loads and delivers the stock to the plant (occassionally delivering the stock directly to customers). Also, occassionally a Clearing Agent (Vendor) is involved as the Stock Vendor is in a neighbouring country. As the stock is valuated @ moving avg, we will use conditions for the transport & clearing costs which resides in the PO that was created for the stock vendor (these costs need to be apportioned to the stock). However, we also need to provide the clearing agent & transporter with a copy of the PO as proof/intent to purchase - we would not want to create diiferent POs - if we do, how will the costs be apportioned ?
This is where it becomes problematic :
1. How do we print specific & different layouts for the clearing agent & transporter. We would therefore also need to input their vendor numbers - how will this be completed ? it will be confusing for these third parties if the stock vendor's name appears on their PO - cannot therefore do reprint of the PO !!
2. Is it possble to assign more than one form (layout set) per purch. doc. type per printing program - this might help - but the vendor code for the transporter & the clearing agent still remains a problem !!
3. Do I need to get hold of an ABAP'er and spec something ??
Have u SAP'ers encountered a scenario like this - and if so how was it resolved. Also, any other ideas will be welcomed.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi DonnyJ
I think the best is create a new output type - and a new form and assign it that way...
The second option (not so good)
Create a new form for the haulier information - Create a repeat output of the original message - change the partner number to the haulier's number - on the Communication Data view of the message you can overwrite the default form with the custom new one...
Hope this gives you some ideas
