Dear Acumatica Support Team,

I would like to seek your guidance on handling a purchasing scenario involving multiple suppliers during bidding process.

In our case, we need to purchase several items from different suppliers because some items are more cost-effective with one supplier, while others are cheaper with another. For example, we may need to purchase three items from Supplier A and another three items from Supplier B within the same purchasing process.

In some cases, we already receive market prices from vendors and clearly know the pricing in advance. For these situations, we do not require a bidding process. However, for certain items, we may still need to compare prices across multiple suppliers before making a purchasing decision.

Could you please advise on the recommended way to manage this scenario using the requisition or purchasing features in Acumatica? Additionally, if there is any supporting documentation or step-by-step guideline that explains how to handle requisitions or purchases involving multiple suppliers, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with us.

Thank you very much in advance for your support and guidance.
