Categorize Vendors

We are using Dynamics 365 Business Central and have an audit finding to categorize our vendors and then link that to our items.

Our vendor audits need to specify what categories they can supply. Some vendors may have multiple categories applicable.

We have been using the Item Category Code already and we are hoping there is a way to link that to the vendor.

The idea being we can't raise a purchase order on a lubricant supplier to buy a circuit board.

Appreciate any help on this matter.

Categorize Vendors

On the item card you have a vendor no. field. This way you can specify for each item which vendor you usually buy it from. You can also use the item references page to add multiple vendors for each item. Perhaps one of these can work for you.

If you want to use the item category code - you can add a custom field to the item category code page. In this field multiple vendors can be selected. This way you can tie each item category to multiple vendors. But this is not available out of the box and will require a small customization.
