Approved and Preferred Vendor for Procurement Category

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

Hello Expert,

I have done the setup for the purchasing policy for procurement category where i have defined approved and preferred.

vendor. When I created purchase requisition for Non catalog item and assigned the procurement category. I am able view only approved and preferred vendor. All this setup done in Demo server and working fine.

My question is when i have done the same setup in client machine AX 2012 R2, i am not able to see the Approved and Preferred Vendors. Is there any setup issue ?

Note:- Client is having multiple legal entity and all the vendors are shared through Virtual company setup. 

kindly advise on this matter.

Thanks

Tej

    Hi Tej,

    Have you configured Accounts Payable > Vendors > All vendors > General tab on the Action pane > Categories section with valid Effective and Expiration dates?

    Hello Albrecht,

    The requirement is for the non catalog item. So release product will not come into picture. We are trying to add the procurement category at the time of Purchase requisition. we will define the category. for the the vendor it should show the Approved and preferred vendor which are defined on the category and the same which is mentioned in purchasing policy.

    I am able to achieve this scenario in demo data for USMF company. It is not working in client environment.  

    Thanks

    HI Tej,

    The only options from which vendor is available as an option on purchase requisition are as below

    1 > Vendor on item master

    2 > trade agreement with Vendor

    3 > Vendor on item coverage.

    Note - Approved vendor list has nothing to do with getting vendors made available on purchase requistion as a choice as it is for purchase orders after requisition is approved.

    Please check the above three points in the environment where you are getting the vendor data.

    Hi Sagar,

    Thanks for you answer. My requirement is for non catalog item which i have specified in my question. I am able to achieve this scenario in Demo data for Contoso but it is not working in client environment. I believe this is due to Virtual company setup where table are shared and vendor too. I will log case with MS for their advise. 

    Please find below screenshot for your reference. where i am able to achieve this in Demo data.
