Restrict Items from being purchased from another Vendor

Dears, good day

I want to Restrict Items from being purchased from another Vendor, in the Item Card the vendor is specified, and also there is a Purchase price list created for that vendor only with his items.

I'm not sure if the option exists in Business Central.

Example:

Item Body Spray is only can be purchased from Bath & body works, if the user tried to add it in a PO for another vendor, it should not accept.

Thank you

    There is no such standard function in Business Central. So for this you will have to relay on a customization.

    The vendor you assign on the item card will be the preferred vendor for replenishment but you can not define it as the sole vendor.  But if you use an approval workflow you might be able to build it into a workflow.

    But i think my preferred solution would be a customization for this case.

    Hi, Unfortunately, only the Purchasing Blocked function is included in the standard Business central.

    As Igne mentioned, you can use the work flow (Power Automate) to control the status of the order, but this may require some judgment by users.

    Another option is customization. You can find a partner to discuss specifics with them.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
