    Hi, If items are exactly the same, that is price determines which vendor to buy from.
    This information is generally managed in Purchase Prices.
    For example, the price of buying 10 from vendor 10000 for item 1000 is 100.
    The price of buying 1 from vendor 20000 is 150.
    But when the quantity exceeds 100, it only costs 50 to buy from vendor 20300190.

    Thanks Zhu! This is good! May I ask other than price, is there other variables which we can compare vendors in Navision?

    For example, comparing the discount vendors give?

    or comparing the service which the vendor give?

    Thank you!

    Hi, Yes, similar to prices, there are also Line Discounts management, as shown below.

    In addition, there is actually a Vendor Priority field, but this is generally used in the Suggest Vendor Payments function, you can also try it.
