Invalid entity reference key on Purchase Order import

edited Dec 3, 2019 1:13PM in Account Administration 5 comments

I'm currently trying to import my open purchase orders from my legacy system before I go live in a couple of weeks.  The problem I'm having is that no matter what I do, I get the following error on my test imports:

Invalid entity reference key 508297.

The number changes based on the line, but the error remains the same.  The number in the above example is the ID of the vendor that the purchase order will be tied to.  However, on that import the External ID was mapped to the Order Number, NOT to the vendor ID. 

Any help with what I'm doing wrong here?  Thanks!

Howdy, Stranger!
