I'm getting the strangest result for the below nested if statement in "B". For some reason the statement doesn't pick up the supplier name if the vendor number "F" is blank.
I get D and the _ between the two cell references (D9 and H9) but not the number in column H.

=IF(AND(C9="",LEN(D9)<=20),D9&"_"&F9, IF(AND(C9="",F9=""),D9&"_"&H9,D9))

does anyone have an idea? I bet its something simple and I've been looking at this too long!

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
This part of your formula is true

IF(AND(C9="",LEN(D9)<=20),D9&"_"&F9

C9 = "" and LEN(D9) = 20, so : D9&"_"&F9
Then 1900004280_L410_2020 " & "_" & (blank)

Thanks Dante,
Found something that worked.

=IF(AND(C8="",LEN(D8)<=20,F8<>""),D8&"_"&F8, IF(AND(C8="",LEN(D8)=20),D8&"_"&H8,D8))
