Hello,
We’re curious if there are any companies using AX who deal with Restricted Supplier functionality and if so, how they handled it (base functionality or customization)? Here’s a bit more information about our process:
We have Customers that cannot use material that has been supplied by a specific Vendor, at least not until they have been “accepted” by that Customer. We place restrictions in the system to not allow material supplied by said Vendor to be used for that Customer. Once the Customer has approved said Vendor, we remove those restrictions from the system. Further, it’s not necessarily just a Vendor to Customer restriction; meaning, a Customer might say that they cannot use material from a given Vendor, except for certain Item Numbers (those certain Item Numbers can use material from said Vendor).
We're currently on AX 2012 R2.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Chris

I have the same question (0)Hi Chris, what is the tracking dimension that you use for the item? Also when you say customer can't use material supplied by a specific vendor, I am assuming you are using the material for a production/batch order. If you use batch tracking and batch order, you can potentially use batch attributes to control this.
