Purchase Requisitions - Suggested Vendors

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Andy_T 330

Hi All

When raising a PR for a catalog item (D365FO) if I use the Purchase requisition line > Suggest suppliers and add a proposed supplier, how is this then used when the PR is converted to a PO?

I don't see anywhere where this is visible? It isn't on the consolidation screen or the release approve PR screen...and if you go back to the PR after it has been approved then you can no longer access the suggested supplier form.

Thanks

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Miller,

    Use this procedure to suggest a new vendor for a product, refer to this Doc: docs.microsoft.com/.../create-and-maintain-purchase-requisitions

    But this feature( Vendor requests in general ) was postponed in D365 SCM: docs.microsoft.com/.../ax-2012-features-not-implemented-but-not-deprecated

    Hi Mattguo

    I read the MS Docs page you referred to but still it is not clear how (after suggesting a new vendor) the purchasing agent that is responsible for converting requisitions to purchase orders can see that a suggestion has been made and what that suggestion is.

    I figured it might be useful to access this form when the PR status is In review... but the button becomes greyed out. I have tested in D365, and it seems no different to 2012. This function is hardly useful. There is one place where you can see the suggested suppliers. It is described at the bottom of this older thread:

    Thanks for the reply

    It seems this is just one of those many 'features' that was never thought through properly and just leads you down a blind alley.

    You shouldn't be needing to write a customisation to close the loop on what should be 'out of the box' functionality :-(

    Better they deprecate it all together I think.

    Cheers
