Alternative payee for ATI "Temporary Allocation of Companies" group

Question

Hey everybody,
May you please help me to define a solution to handle the following
situation?
There are many ATI group vendors, each of them is constituted by one assignee, different invoicing parties and one payment recipient corresponding to the assignee. Each invoicing party can belong to different ATI groups.
All the purchase orders issued to a vendor defined as a ATI group will have the invoicing party one of the Companies, but the payee will always be the assignee of the group. Our problem is to handle this circumstance.
One solution is to update all the invoicing parties master data of a ATI group, specifying the assignee of the ATI as a alternative payee; this for each ATI group.
This solution, viable because if the invoicing party accept at least one different payee the system allows to specify one of them during the invoice entering, is time-consuming to be handled, and it is not optimal because one invoicing party could have different alternative payees (if belonging to different ATI groups). Furthermore, these payees would be not controlled and during the invoice registration an incorrect alternative payee might still be selected.
The solution we would like to apply is to indicate in the ATI group vendor master data:
- the assignee (it could be a partner role defined ad-hoc)
- the list of the invoicing parties (partner function PI)
- the payment recipient (alternative payee / partner function AZ)
without updating all the invoicing parties master data.
During the invoice registration, relating to a purchase order issued to a ATI group vendor, the system should detect that an alternative payment recipient is indicated in the vendor master data and make possible to specify it, although it doesn't appear in the invoicing party master data.
We have tried to apply this solution, assigning also a partner schema to the purchase order, but it didn’t work because the system shows the payee field in the transaction MIRO only if the invoicing party allows for an alternative one.
Is there any possibility to apply this solution?
Thank you very much for your help,
Jo-anne
