Our company utilizes our Quality Assurance team for Supplier Management. Does Acumatica have any Supplier Management functionality with regards to monitoring specific stock items that are on back order with vendors? Also, is there a way to restrict items to only being purchased from specific vendors, or vice versa (vendors can only sell a specific category(ies) of items)?

@vmaria I see two topics in your question:

  1. Monitoring back orders with vendors: If you use MRP or DRP (Inventory planning) there is a GI “Inventory Planning Exceptions” where all these orders are listed. 
  2. Restrict items beeing purchased from specific vendors: We use an ISV Solution from eWorkplace Apps “QMS” to cover such requirements.

Appreciate the insight! Our team will be moving forward with Inventory Planning towards the back end of 2026, so we will keep this in mind.
