Is there a setting or other method to restrict item purchasing ONLY to vendors listed for an item AND marked as “active”? I’d like to be able to turn on/off the ability to use a vendor for specific parts. In this instance, we are creating the POs manually, not via automation. Currently, I can create a PO for any part and any vendor, which has led to some mistakes. Ideas?

No - it doesn’t seem like the functionality I am looking for is built in. It’s not important enough for me to deal with via customization. oh well!

Hi ​@jbedwards I think this would require a customization.

Hi ​@jbedwards 

Have you tried using Vendor Access? The feature will restrict Vendors used by Users.

 

 

Best Regards,

That’s a good idea - thanks! I don’t know that I have the access required to do that, but it gives me something to try.

@jbedwards I have done this for the vendor selector in the create purchase order screen.

 

And the vendor access would limit the parts a USER can see. not limit parts based on the selected vendor...

@Jonathanr I don’t quite understand - how do I limit that on the PO Order screen?
