Good Morning
I have a client who requested that we limit the vendors a user can order from,
and then limit the items linked to that vendor on purchase orders and invoices.
They have one legal entity and several branches. They have a problem with one branch ordering stock from suppliers that another uses or ordering stock that is not on their menu. (order items from the right supplier but an item that they do not use)
One vendor can supply to more than one branch - but they want the branch employee (one employee per branch orders stock) to just see the "allowed" Vendors and also the "allowed" Items for that vendor for only their branch.
I looked into responsibility centres to solution part of the issue, it does limit their views on PO's to the responsibility centre they are linked to, but users are still able to select vendors that fall outside of their responsibility centre when creating a PO.
We looked at splitting the branches and setting them up as separate companies, but they all share one chart of accounts and one bank account.
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions surrounding this, I am running out of ideas and think this is a development...but asking the community might help :) seeing that you guys know a lot more than I do.
Thank you.
