Hi guys,
any idea why, even if i have set a vendor "on hold - requistion", AX still allows me to perform a purchase order towards that vendor?
I thought it was a simple and very direct setting, but i've just tested it doesn't work. I was able to do a purchase requistion AND a P.O., which, if i'm correct, AX could not allow me to do in this case.
Am i missing something? Or it's more complicated than this?

Thanks

I believe its standard AX behavior. see following lines on TechNet

"You cannot create a purchase requisition for a vendor who has a hold status of Requisition."

I get it Sohaib, but like i said, if you open the Vendor form page on technet (technet.microsoft.com/.../aa592162.aspx) and look for tab Actions Pane, it is explained very clear that if you set the hold status on "Requisition" you can create only P.Requisition but no other transaction, which theoretically means that you cannot create a P.O. (for example) but you actually can create a P.requisition

On-hold - requisition will stop only Purchase requisition creation for the specific vendors. If you dont want to create the PO for this vendor, then change the hold status to "All". Refer technet.microsoft.com/.../hh271531.aspx

Thanks Ram

may I ask you one more thing? Do you know if is it possible to suspend a Vendor in terms of P.O. but not in terms of invoices and payments (i may have pending payments, related to old P.Os., towards that vendor that I intend to respect, but i don't want to purchase anything from now on)

Hope this is clear.

Thanks

Hi Gian Carlo Dell'Erba, My understanding of your scenario is, you would like to make payment for on-hold vendor and you would like to allow invoicing for the on-hold vendors. My straight answer is No. If you change the on hold to Payment, system will allow you to create the PO creation and Invoice creation. The same way, if you change the on hold to Invoice, system will block only Invoice creation, but still allows PO creation. If you have PO approval workflow, you can validate Vendor status and reject the PO at approval status

Hi all,

I have seen a similar thing whereby the supplier hold status was different for two different companies, I had to change the incorrect setting in one company so that they both matched to get the desired behaviour. Something to check if you have multi-company set up.

I have the opposite problem today, my supplier is set to hold - Requisition, but this will not allow a payment to be made for orders/invoices already received, they appear on the invoice proposal but cannot be transferred to the payment journal: infolog error says:

" some payments which were approved were not copied to the payment journal because they have a supplier hold or an invoice hold. The copy payment to the payment journal, you must remove any hold that the payments have."

I can pay them fine if I take the hold off and put it back on again, but this makes no sense, if I had wanted to stop payments also, I would have selected hold-All. Is this a known problem or is it just us?
