Multisourcing - allocation for vendor groups

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 364
Hi experts,
 
I have a question about multisourcing policy in the system. Currently, the system does support allocation among vendor accounts. However, it's hard to define the percentage for each vendor at the beginning. I want the allocation is for vendor group (for example, foreign vendors, local vendors,...), by that, when there is a new vendor account, I don't need to recalculate the ideal percentage.
 
The question is: how can I handle my requirement with current function of the system.
 
Thank you so much!!!!

    Hi,
     
    Can you clarify what you mean by: "I want the allocation is for vendor group (for example, foreign vendors, local vendors,...), by that, when there is a new vendor account, I don't need to recalculate the ideal percentage."? I'm not able to understand how you think you want to solve your challenge.

    Hi Andre,
     
    Sorry for my bad English. I will clarify my problem again.
     
    I mean, instead of allocating the percentage among vendor account, I want to allocate it to vendor groups, which includes multiple vendor accounts.
     
    For example, I devide the vendor for my raw materials into 2 groups: foreign vendors and local vendors. My company has a policy to buy 70% of RM from foreign vendors, and 30% from local vendors.
     
    Currently:
    - Foreign vendors: vendor 1, vendor 2, vendor 3
    - Local vendors: vendor 4, vendor 5
     
    I want to track the current allocation at the level "Group", not "Account". Therefore, when there is a new foreign vendor, the idea allocation doesn't change, I can place PO from vendor 1, 2, 3 or the new vendor as long as it make the deviation the least.

    Hi,
     
    Others can chime in, but I don't believe this is possible without customization. However, if I understand you correctly, I would develop a Power BI report for this. You would still have to assign each vendor to the policy one by one but the report would group them together.
